Top 100 Design Trends in September

From Playful Body Hair Planters to Specialty Meatball Plates

— September 20, 2025 — Art & Design
The September 2025 design round-up oscillates between the humorous and the ethereal. In the former category, objects like the limited-edition Billie Chia Pet, which is essentially a planter that draws inspiration from armpit hair, and Nik Bentel Studio's Dinner Bag stand out for their cheeky yet well-executed concept. Columbia Sportswear also taps humor in its brand redesign project with the slogan of 'Engineered for Whatever.' Elsewhere, the IKEA x Gustaf Westman meatball plate immediately captures attention for its unusual but practical shape.

In terms of elevated and almost ethereal creations, the September 2025 design list calls attention to the biomimicry fashion silhouettes of Iris Van Herpen and andblack design studio's ultra-slick and fluid Modern LOOP Furniture Series. Laylak Toronto also recently presented a substantial upgrade by extending its dining room space.
