Top 100 Art & Design Trends for 2019

From Norwegian Artist Hubs to Airbag-Inspired Phone Cases

— February 18, 2019 — Art & Design
Many of these 2019 Art & Design trends explore creative and functional elements. Some of these can be incorporated into a daily lifestyle, and others simply encourage creativity. A highlighting example is the 'fordypningsrommet fleinvaer,' a work-space in Norway by TYIN tegnestue and rintala eggertsson. The hub was rooted from an idea by Håvard Lund, with the goal of creating a space for creation. This allows artists, musicians, and more to rent a room and allow their ideas to flow in action. It is an elevated building, featuring a sleeping area, a sauna, concert room, and canteen -- highlighting a landscape architecture.

Another great idea is the AD case by Phillip Frenzel, which is a protective piece for smartphones. It is inspired by airbags, deploying springs when the implemented sensors detect a drop. It can be simply folded back into the case following the drop encounter to prepare for any further accidents.

For more art and design trends in the new year, check out Trend Hunter's 2019 Trend Report.
