What is the Phosphorescent Design trend?
Phosphorescent Design: We've seen the retro revival of products created in past decades from the '50s to '80s, and now, designers are concentrating on a revival of the 1990s with glow-in-the-dark innovations. Including apparel, architecture, home decor and even makeup, these phosphorescent innovations put a novel touch on basic design, elevating the day-to-day product -- like a pair of jeans -- to a new level of fun and vibrancy, while also appealing to consumer sentiment via nostalgia.
