Top 60 Modern Trends in October

From Hybrid Office Apartments to Abstract Tarot Decks

These October 2016 modern trends range from hybrid office apartment to abstract tarot decks that fuse a traditional spiritual practice with contemporary graphics. Other standouts this month range from folding bicycle designs to rocking workspace seats that are designed to promote comfort and convenience for those leading a busy, on-the-go lifestyle.

The month's other leading innovations include whimsical anime editorials, like a fun series that celebrates Millennials' continuous Pokemon Go obsession and aquatic iris paintings that redefine photorealism for a generation who is more used to digitized art forms.

Other October 2016 modern innovations include modular home accessories like novel-resembling napkin holders, rotating sphere lamps and even experimental hybrid cutlery that is surprisingly practical while doubling as a memorable housewarming gift idea.
