With the threat of climate change and ecological collapse, our understanding of ‘luxury’ is undergoing a rapid transformation. In 2022, consumers and designers are increasingly focusing not just on the craftsmanship and prestige of a luxury item – but also on the impact of its materials on both the planet and its people.

From 15-minute cities to reinventing materials, global innovations are powering the rapid evolution of the home and office. This 42-page research paper presents an insightful view of how we will live and work sustainably post-pandemic.

How we approach the use of space within our homes was once something of an afterthought. But during the pandemic our homes have become central to our daily lives, our domestic environments need to encompass work, shopping and healthcare more than ever.

“For many of us, seeing the back of 2020 can’t come too soon” according to David Schill, Aritco’s Marketing Director. “We see design and innovation as a crucial part of moving forward. So we commissioned this deep-dive into the global innovations that will be shaping how we live in our homes safely and comfortably, without sacrificing style or design. Our research and development team has already begun exploring some of the innovations in this report and we hope Future of the Home might help other design and architectural brands to take on 2021 with promise and optimism.”
