The top April 2015 modern trends emphasize a heavy commitment to usability.
Though it's hard to classify or define what "modern," is in its entirety, the commonality that existed amongst these trends was a sense of practicality and operation. Everything was designed to promote ease-of-use, streamlining where possible any given process for the discerning consumer.
The products and concepts included in the top April 2015 modern list tried to fulfill consumer desires that weren't being addressed by current, existing products, ensuring that not only were they super-functional, but also incredibly unique. Finding and responding to unmet needs is the cornerstone of innovation, after all, and the products and designs in this collection certainly deliver on that front.
