With fears over melting ice caps, polluted waters and flooding, designers are using water as a visual language to emphasise the detrimental effects of climate change. The overpowering shifts in our environment inspire a clean and modernist aesthetic that provides stability and calm.
Evolving Landscapes focuses on materials that reflect the fragility of our natural surroundings, such as transparent glass, resin and crystal. As a feeling of disconnect between urban living and natural surroundings deepens, fresh open spaces, living materials and protective technologies emerge to bring the nourishing qualities of the outdoors inside.
