Top 100 Design Trends in September

From Dual-Toned Earbud Cases to Solar-Powered Spotlights

— September 4, 2021 — Art & Design
As the return to normalcy is ever so anticipated following a prolonged lockdown, designs that focus on a post-pandemic life currently dominates the market.

Matteo Belfiore Architecture has designed a contemporary office space purposefully equipped with anti-microbial surfaces. The office is located in Japan and is home to the cyber company Cybernet. As the company anticipates a return to the office, they commissioned Matteo Belfiore Architecture to design a space that will ensure its employees are kept safe. The surfaces chosen for the office are Urban Active Surfaces by Fiandre - which are designed to kill bacteria and viruses using a process called photocatalysis.

Meanwhile, accessory companies like Away have released brand new hard-sided suitcases as travel once again picks up. Away's new Flex collection offers expendable suitcases ideal for over-packers and travelers who love to shop.
