Designing the Future: Trends for 2025

As a company deeply rooted in design, we are always exploring trends that will shape the creative landscape. The future of design in 2025 is poised to be bold, personalized, and environmentally conscious. To give you a preview of what’s to come, here are the design trends we expect to dominate in 2025.

A New Hue

The jury’s still out on Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2025, but we’ve got plenty of inspiration from industry experts like WGSN and Coloro, who’ve picked the aptly named Future Dusk for their 2025 Color of the Year. A mesmerizing blend of blue and purple, it’s poised to dominate the design scene. Future Dusk is described as having a sense of mystery and escapism, and this evocative hue perfectly aligns with the era of immense change we’re currently navigating.

Personalization

In 2025, one size does not fit all. Consumers today expect personalized products and experiences tailored to individual preferences. Brands can leverage data analytics and AI to deliver highly customized interactions, responding to customers’ unique needs and desires. This movement towards personalization will likely intensify in the coming years. 

However, it’s crucial to approach personalization with respect for user privacy. The challenge lies in striking a balance between personalization and privacy, prioritizing transparency and ethical practices.

Whimsical Design

In fashion, there is a return to whimsy that we think will emanate into different fields of design. A playful spirit is re-emerging, denoted by traditional silhouettes exaggerated, vibrant colors, and dynamic forms that celebrate individuality.

While we always appreciate the joy and inspiration that beautiful design brings, its power to uplift us becomes even more evident during difficult times. Whimsical design offers an escape from the mundane, a celebration of imagination and a reminder of the power of human expression. 

Sustainability

Tastes and preferences change, but this is one trend that is crucial and here to stay. Sustainability is a necessary shift in our rapidly changing world. Designers will increasingly prioritize the use of sustainable materials, energy-efficient production methods, and responsible practices.

Digital products can be designed with sustainability in mind, too. In this realm, for instance, UX design plays a crucial role in reducing environmental impacts. By optimizing code, minimizing file sizes, and promoting digital minimalism, designers can contribute to a more sustainable digital future.

Designing a Transformative 2025

As we embrace these trends, it’s important to remember that design is not merely about aesthetics. More than a tool for creating beautiful and functional products, design is a means of improving lives and contributing in meaningful ways towards shaping a better world. Looking into 2025, the convergence of art and technology offers exciting opportunities. Together, we can design a future with bold creativity, and a dedication to making a positive impact on the planet and on people’s lives.
