HomePage News InSight Trend Index 2023/24: Fine Lines

The fifth portfolio in the HomePage News 2023/24 InSight™ Trend Index examines Fine Lines, the design and material trends that bring style to life.

As technology brings ever more options and opportunities into focus, our lives and days continue to grow more complex and demanding. In the face of this compression of time and space, we are sometimes forced to choose between aesthetic and functional values. We’ve all faced the internal dispute: “Do I go with the one that looks amazing or the one that will really get the job done?”

Enter the new standard: Beautility. This commitment to products which embody a design mandate for objects that present as well as they perform. In this portfolio, we celebrate this standard and its rejection of compromise by presenting products both timely and timeless that bring Beautility to life.
