ZENovation

Designs focused on tranquility and serenity calm stressed consumers

Implications - Today's fast-paced world brings with it a lot of distraction; busy consumers have less time on their hands to just kick back and relax. Helping them to achieve more calm and order in everyday life are innovations with serene and zenlike properties. And while zen-inspired designs, whether as small as a sculpture or as large as a house, may seem to offer tranquility only on the surface, often being in the presence of something zen-inspired is all that is necessary to calm the mind.
Trend Themes
1. Zen-inspired Designs - Consumers gravitate towards simplistic product designs because it evokes a sense of calm and serenity that offsets their stressful lifestyles. Corporations in all industries may benefit from simplification of their product designs.
2. Holistic and Healthy Living - In the last few years, the importance of holistic or healthy living has increased exponentially. A company or brand can benefit from this craze by creating a product that purports to offer meditative or spiritual healing properties. The product will draw consumers interested in unconventional forms of physical rejuvenation.
3. Negative Space - Sukhi Barber explores the use of negative space in her slivered sculptures and stresses the importance of negative space almost as if the space itself is material. Companies in various industries could adopt this design concept to create products that emphasize the use of negative space.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - The trend of Zen-inspired designs can be applied to the home decor industry to create products that offer serenity and simplicity to customers seeking a peaceful home.
2. Personal Wellness - The trend of holistic and healthy living can be applied to products that promote personal wellness, such as meditation aids and physical rejuvenation products.
3. Art and Sculpture - The use of negative space in art and sculpture can be applied to create visually striking and innovative products in various industries.
