Standard tableware becomes more experiential in design
Trend - Brands in the design space are taking more distinct approaches to everyday home items, with tableware being the next area in which this shift can be observed. Everything from upcycled materials to taste-enhancing designs are being incorporated into tableware, offering unique aesthetics and functions.
Insight - As consumers look to maintain their households, they're increasingly turning to distinct features that allow them to express their individuality. With many people in North America raised in relatively homogenous suburban homes, the growth of urban living has resulted in consumers wanting to more explicitly express their uniqueness in the home. By prioritizing both function and aesthetics, consumers are able to curate homes that reflect their personal interests and values.
