I agree with Craig Atkinson to an extent - there are definitely cycles (usually between 7 and 10 years) that are often defined by economic circumstances...in current 'tough times', we're likely to see a lot of design innovation and ingenuity that tends to be the hallmark of tighter budgets and a more discerning public. The use of computers and more 'hard edged' looks however, I'm not too sure about. As there's a tendency for people to both DIY and embrace a nesting mindset, I suspect handmade and crafts will continue to prosper, however once our economies bounce back, perhaps the sleek aesthetic will be something of a luxury that will return in time too.

I think materialism will be scaled back and practicality put back in the forefront, so multi-tasking pieces will continue to gain popularity. I think some of the best design incorporates what is essential and then does something bizarre to create a wabi-sabi perfection.And tough call over what's better, Erin --the video or that ikat scarf you're rocking! ;) Hard to predicate much these days, but I agree with some of what the video (and Melissa above) touched on with the ebb & flow of styles.

And tough call over what’s better, Erin –the video or that ikat scarf you’re rocking! ;)

I didn't know what to think of it. This is very thought-provoking.
