Top 100 Art & Design Trends in October

The October 2022 art and design trends were shaped, in large part, by new innovations in sustainable packaging and modular furniture, as well as novel artificial intelligence applications geared toward making the production of art easier and more accessible.

For example, Naama Nicotra unveiled the 'Naked Pack,' a new eco-friendly take on food wrap that is made from algae and can be rinsed away in a sink. Meanwhile, Veggroom debuted 'Verda Garden,' an automatic indoor hydroponic garden kit that features a modular, stackable format.

As for innovations in art and AI, NightCafe Studio launched an AI-powered art generation platform that enables users to make high-definition artwork by merely typing a prompt. Similarly, Midjourney began beta testing its Discord-connected art bot, which is able to produce entirely original artwork following a few basic user inputs.
