This installment of Housewares TrendHive spotlights Neo-Primitive Nexus, showing how trends converge to bring more texture and dimensions to contemporary interiors while maintaining a minimalist ethos. Expanding across home categories, its forms lend historic relevance to tableware and housewares.

Evolutionary patterns inform furnishings, accent and wall décor and floor coverings. Global culture and craft are core influences. Design inspirations draw from diverse creative origins including Africa, South and East Asia and South America. While origin drives material and form, both are refined and refinished for a modern aesthetic. Compound influences of pattern and texture are unified by a minimalist palette of tonal blacks, warmed whites and browns.

This installment of Housewares TrendHive spotlights Into the Woods, which shows how wood is reborn into fresh fashion, form and function for 2023 and beyond. Trends collide with counter trends: lighter woods in beech, ash, maple and pine wrestle darker walnut, cherry and teak for dominance. Creative collaborations of light and dark woods create one-of-a-kind patterning from patchwork to parquet.

Folded into this trend is an enduring attraction to the wabi-sabi aesthetic which finds beauty in the simple, imperfect and impermanent. Craftsmanship creates objects which celebrate natural materials and the forces which forged them. For all this, true natural woods still make room for artistic interpretations. Home décor and serveware of patterned pressed glass sets sit alongside stylized prints and textures on ceramic, melamine and steel.
