Light, Shapes, Inspiration: Design That Transforms Spaces and Ourselves

Interior and furniture design is much more than mere aesthetics. It is an art form that
shapes our lifestyle, worldview, and sometimes even our boldest dreams. In 2025,
this field becomes even more intriguing, richer, and boldly innovative.
*Vogue* takes you on a journey through the events and trends redefining our future.

Maison & Objet: The Home of Creativity for Your Space
Paris, as always, sets the tone. This year, *Maison & Objet* served as a source of
inspiration for those seeking daring solutions. The stars of the show? Biophilic
design, adaptive furniture that adjusts to your mood, and a total harmony with nature.

Trend #1: furniture made from recycled materials—so elegant that its sustainability is
hard to believe. Unsurprisingly, French sophistication infuses every detail.

Milan Design Week: Technology Serving Emotion
Once again, Milan proved it is synonymous with innovation. At *Milan Design Week*,
the spotlight was on the marriage of art and technology. Imagine a sofa that changes
shape according to your emotions or a table with a built-in wireless charger.

However, what truly captured hearts was the return to artisanal traditions. Hand-
carved furniture, genuine works of art, showcased timeless craftsmanship.

Stockholm: Minimalism with Soul
Scandinavian minimalism remains a perennial trend, but this year it took on a new
life. At the *Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair*, the emphasis was on lighting.
Sculptural fixtures that transform a room into an art gallery are the season’s ultimate
must-have.

And, of course, textures: wool, wood, metal—combined with such lightness that they
envelop spaces in a soothing warmth.

Paris Design Week: The Play of Contrasts
If *Maison & Objet* epitomizes ultimate elegance, *Paris Design Week* ventures into
unrestrained experimentation. Here, there are no rules. Classical paintings coexist
with high-tech furniture, while vintage sofas find new life through contemporary,
vibrant fabrics.

The main message: the perfection of imperfection. Nonchalant charm, asymmetry,
unexpected details—all contribute to creating spaces where life feels good.

Asia: The Subtleties of Harmony
Asian design brings a unique touch to the global context. Its secret lies in Zen
philosophy, inspiring a minimalist approach imbued with emotion. At the *China
International Furniture Fair*, bamboo and rattan furniture impressed with its
functionality and meditative essence.

Design Driven by Meaning
Interior design is no longer about status or ostentatious luxury. It’s about well-
being—for you, for nature, and for your true desires. Every trend and event highlights
designers’ efforts to create living spaces that tell stories, inspire action, and bring
harmony.

The year 2025 promises to be a year of discoveries and transformations. Furniture
becomes art, and interiors, new stages for the performances of our lives. As *Vogue*
would say, it’s design you can wear at home.
