In identifying the hottest current and future trends for 2022, Daltile’s lead product designer Laura Grilli prominently showcases the trend she calls “Female Celebration” in the recently released Daltile Trend Report 2022.
“Female Celebration is about reviving feminine archetypes to highlight historically feminine values such as care, flexibility, community, collaboration and empathy,” said Grilli. “‘Softer, more feminine design is the future,’ according to legendary architect Kengo Kuma.”
“The trend of Female Celebration aims to create reassuring environments where people can truly feel safe, understood and where they can rejuvenate,” continued Grilli. “Interiors following this trend promote a new gentleness, harnessing calming aesthetics, therapeutic colors, soothing textures and round and reassuring shapes. Soft, round and other organic shapes inspired by the delicate beauty found in flowers and handmade crafts like origami are main features of this trend.”
“Another important aspect of this trend is how something gracious, delicate and fine can also shine with the strength inherent in the female spirit,” concluded Grilli.
