DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE
2024 design trends for a digital world
- VICAIMA -
It ’ s a common exercise in any sector of activity - to foresee macro-trends , understand phenomena and draw up plans to respond to those same expectations of a future that is always more innovative , challenging and non-linear . The complementary worlds of architecture , construction and design are no exception and are the forerunners of boldness and disruption of norms , an attitude that brings them closer to the frontier between the beauty of evolution and the power of change .
As one of Europe ’ s major players in the design and production of cutting-edge solutions for interior doors , technical doors , frames , wardrobes , panels and furniture pieces , Vicaima identifies some of the focal priorities that are already being followed by professionals in the field and whose relevance is expected to increase this year .
One point will be common to all sectors - the transformative power of artificial intelligence ( AI ). Whether for interior design and decoration or in construction processes and software , disruptive technologies will have an influence on the efficiency within the different phases of a project , from the generation of 3D models , integrated project management or the selection of decorative elements , enhancing the creativity and uniqueness of spaces by combining the analytical capacity of digital tools with the aesthetic and functional sensitivity of the human insight .
How can we go even further and understand what lines will shape the future of these sectors ? Let ’ s go through , in detail , the features , concepts and movements that promise to make 2024 a transformative era .
Sustainability factors will continue to play an essential role
This year , sustainability will play a role in more than the choice of a decorative product , through elements that reflect the appreciation of local culture , proximity to communities and consideration for future generations .
In the construction sector , the inclusion of products with FSC ® ( Forest Stewardship Council ®) certification , the organization that promotes responsible forest management , is almost a prerequisite , as specifiers seek to look beyond , sourcing and specifying products from organisations who take a more wholistic approach to their ESG ( Environment , Social and Corporate Governance ) obligations .
Doors as a fundamental element of personalization The selection of styles , tones and surfaces has risen to an archetype that promises to become the next design revolution . Today , there is a growing demand for doors with customized designs and finishes adapted to specific needs and aesthetics , a factor leveraged by AI when it comes to analyzing data , lifestyles and preferences .
In this panorama , the authenticity of the choices promises to be revealed in the choice of door finishes , developing surfaces in which texture can be the differentiating factor . Among Vicaima ’ s wide range of options , this creative wave is already reflected in the Dekordor ® 3D range of door finishes , which stand out for their modern look and pronounced texture . In total , it offers an exquisite palette of fifteen on-trend designs , in light and dark tones .
New themed projects emerging , from hotels to homes
Rooms associated with an iconic character from a movie or an animated element from a TV series are a throwback to a nostalgic childhood , but they are freeing themselves up as inspiration for themed projects , a growing trend in which physical spaces are also a feeling . Not only in housing , but also in the hotel sector , designs evocative of literature , elements of nature or cities will be less and less uncommon . Creativity will continue to blur boundaries , driving disruption in a new dimension of interior design that is very much present in the Vicaima Infinity line .
In an era defined by A . I ., the different trends indicate that emotion will not cease to exist , but will prove increasingly decisive , responding to the demand for authenticity and connection . As a whole , these are the building blocks for architecture , construction and decoration that will continue to create modern and attractive spaces with sustainability and uniqueness .
