What will retail and experience design look like in 2024?

Abbey Bamford — Thu, 21 Dec 2023 13:00:26 +0000

In 2024 my hope and expectation is that we will see many smaller, independent retail concepts experiment with sustainable interior design. They will be at the forefront of a new design aesthetic that will be born out of finding ways to limit the impact their shop has on the environment. This new design aesthetic will, in the following years, be assimilated by the big brands and chains.

Connections, community, creativity, caring and climate sum up my predictions for exhibition design in 2024. But let’s get the dreaded “C” out of the way first. Covid had a catastrophic effect on our ability to interact with culture. To survive, museums and galleries have had to adapt and have emerged as places which bring communities together. Without a doubt culture and the arts will face ever…

Why 2024 will be the “year of creative emergence” when it comes to AI

Emily Gosling — Thu, 21 Dec 2023 08:00:19 +0000

Next year, design is going to begin its largest transformation of our discipline. Artificial intelligence entered the world’s focus this year, but next year will bring integration.

AI is changing what we make and how we make it.

In terms of hospitality design predictions we have a hunch that we’ll be seeing more adventurous pattern play and more layered, accessorised design – with more of an emphasis on original and individual ‘artistic’ touches – in contrast to some of the more pared back interiors we’ve seen (but not necessarily quite as maximalist as some of the interiors we’ve seen emerging post Covid).

What will interactive design look like in 2024?

Abbey Bamford — Tue, 19 Dec 2023 10:04:02 +0000

At the risk of sounding predictable, I believe that in 2024 AI will continue to drive innovation in interaction design. Already there are a myriad of AI tools allowing us to generate sitemaps, wireframes, create personas and user journey mapping, UI designs from prompts, and even code blocks. These tools will become sharper and more useful, and more robustly integrated into mainstream tools such…

2024 is set to be a year of conscious change, marked by a growing acceleration towards sustainability, a redefinition of technology’s role and a shift in consumer behaviour towards more flexible, empathetic ways of living. Here are the key trends set to shape the year ahead. As the planet-imperative penny drops, is sustainability on the cusp of mass adoption? In 2024…
