The students of Interior and Product Design attended the Feria Hábitat Valencia last Thursday 20th September. The event has become an international reference of “Made in Spain” furniture, lighting and decoration design.
The students had the opportunity to witness the latest developments for these sectors and also attended the conference offered by the Hábitat Trends Observatory (OTH), a project focused on the study of the evolutions in home design and its relationship with its sociocultural environment.
In addition, they could also verify the diversity of trends that respond to the nowadays optimistic and vibrant attitude, in contrast to the crisis experienced over the last years. Minimalism gives way to color and geometric shapes inspired by the Art Deco and Maximalism movements. Modularity and the concept of furniture as a system. The importance of natural materials that connect the senses with the physical. The domestic aesthetic transferred to ‘contract’ and outdoor products so that the user feels at home.
During the visit, different exhibition, furniture and new materials spaces were analyzed. Finally, the students and professors of Interior Design made a ‘performance’ in order to get a modification of the space.
