LivingScapes is the research conducted by the Salone del Mobile.Milano Trend Lab to identify the principal international trends in the world of design, furniture and living.
The home is the most intimate yet also the most social place in which we live our lives. Lifestyles are in continuous evolution, and it is in the home – the theater and stage of our daily experience – that the most significant socio-economic, technological and cultural changes manifest themselves, fruit of the advanced present we live in, and of our imagined future.
The aim is to study evolving lifestyles and predict which will become indispensable in the future so as to then imagine products capable of satisfying new living needs, both inside and outside the home. The socio-cultural approach and ethnographic research method distinguish the study thanks to their capacity to see the world-home as an object-place inhabited by individuals with personal and relational needs that evolve with the changes in society, in our image of the world, in lifestyles and in the socio-economic context.
The various meanings of contemporary living will this find a declension in trends, in turn described through ways of living that find expression in the objects that the home contains, that furnish and fill it.
