From Freezable Crossbody Bags to Classic Electric Guitar Models

The 2025 Design Trends round-up showcases how innovators are using technology to enhance convenience and artist-led projects that increase visibility.
AI eyewear has certainly been gaining popularity this past year, and one can see this through products like the ultra-versatile Loomos AI Glasses by SHARGE. Unveiled at CES 2025, this innovation can perform photography, audio, and AI-assisted tasks despite its lightweight and practical silhouette.
Immersive brand installations are also dominant in the 2025 Design Trends round-up. The Pulsation installation in Osaka, made possible through a collaboration between GSM Project and Justine Emard, is a great example. Artists are also being tapped for product packaging — like the 12th edition of 1800 Tequila’s Essential Artist Series, which spotlights Raúl de Nieves.
