THE ART OF LIVING: 2028 Design & Interiors 2028 Home & Interiors
Recently the language of art and design has become similar; two domains proposing similar points of view of our current chaotic and fearful lives. Both are concerned with the planet and its people, its fluidity and diversity, its romantic brutalism, and its ruins to be picked up as valuable resources for creation. Both insist on telling stories but also try to seek refuge in the abstraction of modernism. Making sense of the present while opening up to possible futures.
The art of living becomes the new goal, profiting from personal choices and indulging in strange combinations, exalting in unique finds, mixing old and new, making the most of all moments. A common ground for a culture that seeks to appease and ground people, healing as a prerequisite for a better existence, creating a safer place. A fascination with aesthetics as a moral medication that allows us to design and communicate, transforming consumers into collectors, and raising awareness about the benefit of beauty.
