Food Furniture

Consumers are attracted to edible-inspired furnishings

Implications - With recent emphasis on minimalism and sharp, futuristic home design, some consumers are fleeing in the opposite direction toward more charming and novel creations. Food furniture, whether it’s a cupcake cushion or egg rug,  offers a fun retreat from society’s dictated aesthetics, which can often impart an impersonal feeling on the home.
Trend Themes
1. Food-inspired Furnishings - The trend of adding food-inspired furnishings presents an opportunity for designers to create furniture that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
2. Playful Homeware - There is a trend towards homewares that add a playful element to the home, which presents opportunities for designers to create products that help consumers inject a sense of fun into their surroundings.
3. Comfort Food-inspired Seating - The trend of comfort food-inspired seating offers an opportunity for designers to create seating options that are fun, functional and unique.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Design - The furniture design industry can reference these examples as an opportunity to incorporate food-related themes and playfulness into any modern home.
2. Homeware Design - Manufacturers can take inspiration from the playful designs of food-inspired homeware and create products that bring joy and fun to everyday life.
3. Interior Design - Interior designers can incorporate food-inspired furnishings as part of a unique interior design scheme that celebrates individuality and creativity.
