# Southern Cali-Inspired Furniture Josh Green Drops the Agapanthus Collection with Lawson-Fenning By Amy Duong | Published 2025-07-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agapanthus-collection References: [lawsonfenning](https://lawsonfenning.com/collections/josh-greene-design-x-lf)  Interior designer Josh Greene has unveiled the Agapanthus Collection which has been made with elements of his childhood in Southern California. He draws on memory, locality, materiality, and more with a central focus on a place and time where it came from. He collaborates with design firm Lawson-Fenning to deliver a harmonious furniture collection. It aims to bring a feeling of returning to home with references of the 80s, where he grew up. Glenn Lawson, co-founder of Lawson-Fenning speaks about the design, “Josh often customizes our pieces, and it’s amazing to see how he transforms something familiar. At a certain point, it became clear he was essentially designing within our framework. Giving him his own line made perfect sense.” Image Credit: Josh Greene, Lawson-Fenning ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 43% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Retro-inspired Home Decor:** Integrating 80s nostalgia, contemporary furniture designs are rekindling consumer interest in retro-inspired home decor. - **Localized Design Aesthetic:** Drawing inspiration from specific geographies, furniture collections in localized design aesthetics resonate with consumers seeking personal connections. - **Collaborative Design Partnerships:** Creative collaborations between established firms and independent designers foster unique collections that combine distinct design perspectives. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Furnishings:** The home furnishings industry is experiencing a resurgence of retro-themed designs, appealing to consumers' desire for nostalgia-infused interiors. - **Interior Design:** Interior design is continuously being redefined through collaborations that merge personalized stories and mainstream appeal. - **Artisanal Furniture:** The artisanal furniture sector gains momentum by showcasing pieces with strong local influences that tell a story of their origin. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [State-Honoring Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/statehonoring-furniture-collections.md) - [California-Inspired Outdoor Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mondos-outdoor.md) - [Californian-Themed Timeless Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croft-house-1.md) - [Surf-Inspired Outdoor Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laun-x-chet-architecture-mondos.md) - [California-Inspired Outdoor Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/les-ensembliers.md) - [Playful Dynamic Furniture Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galliforms.md) - [Glass Geometry Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-collection.md) - [Modernist Artful Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colendra.md) - [Americana Furniture Debut Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archivism.md)
