# 2Modern By One Milllion Blog | Published 2006-09-11 | Special Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2modern References: [2modern.blogs](http://2modern.blogs.com/) 2Modern is a consortium of designers, artists, innovators, furniture connoisseurs and regular, everyday people. What is unique about 2Modern Design Talk? We provide a wide-range of views and commentary focused on contemporary design. Contributors to the blog are designers, manufacturers, editors, retailers, architects and consumers. Some contributors enjoy a large spectrum of the modern lifestyle, others are focused on specific niches or topics like: [modern lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lighting-innovation), [contemporary art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unform-studios), [innovative architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dwellings-project), etc. Some of us spend most of their time at tradeshows, viewing the latest designs, others spend their time in a studio in overalls and paint. The common denominator is that this carefully selected group of individuals weave a special fabric we call the 2Modern Design Talk blog. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Special](https://www.trendhunter.com/special) > [Top Sites](https://www.trendhunter.com/topsites) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Contemporary Design:** There is an opportunity for innovation in creating new contemporary designs or improving existing ones. - **Collaborative Networking:** There is an opportunity for innovation in creating better networking platforms for designers, manufacturers, editors, retailers, architects and consumers to collaborate. - **Niche Marketing:** There is an opportunity for innovation in targeting specific niches or audiences such as those interested in modern lighting or innovative architecture. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Design:** The design industry has an opportunity to incorporate innovative materials and technologies to develop contemporary designs. - **Manufacturing:** The manufacturing industry has an opportunity to improve their production processes to better serve designers and consumers of contemporary designs. - **Retail:** The retail industry has an opportunity to create better marketing strategies that target specific niches or audiences in contemporary design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Stool Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-design-review.md) - [Sleek Modern Table Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-lighting-instruments.md) - [Artful Design Curation Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-no-1.md) - [Modular Glass Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modulo-collection.md) - [Sophisticated Modern Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-furniture-design1.md) - [Ultra-Chic Sculptural Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-lighting-design.md) - [Artful Hosting Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-entertaining.md) - [Emerging Designer Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collaborative-series.md) - [Brazilian Modern Dallas Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brazilian-modernism.md)
