Human connection, invention and instinct are the common threads explored within each trend, and reflect the spirit of the time. We are moving into a society that craves a human presence and the desire to focus on essential values due to the advancement of technology. We are creating a respectful relationship with the planet and its people, promoting a more harmonious lifestyle where the world’s traditions are acknowledged.

Origins

Wild Nature .Raw . Primitive

There is a new appreciation for the simple things in life, urging us to go back to the land and reconnect with our ancestral instincts. The soul of a handmade object is celebrated. Responsive design emerges from forward- thinking craftsmanship, intertwining technology with primitive and raw materials. From the deep woods to the open prairie, the outdoor landscape is a world without borders, allowing for new inventions to emerge.
