What is the IndustREtail trend?
IndustREtail: Designers have been embracing minimalism throughout the past few years, and now this direction is going to the extreme, with the industrial aesthetic becoming the design go-to for retail and business interiors. Featuring raw wood, concrete materials and other bare-bones, unfinished elements, these industrial-looking retail and business spaces provide consumers with a more subdued sensory experience and offer a clean aesthetic that helps to maintain the focus on the business's products and services.
