Trend seminar: these are the four biggest trends for Autumn/Winter 2019/2020

“The border between virtual reality and our own daily reality will merge”, said trendwatcher Christine Boland during the opening of her seminar “Mixed Realities” organized by Appletizer, which took place in Amsterdam earlier this week. It may sound like a prediction for a future decades away, but she was referring to the winter of 2020. “Human and machine are not opposites anymore. Instead, they grow closer and closer to each other. In this grey area where technology, artificial intelligence, fantasy and creativity meet, a new design language will develop, with its own vocabulary”.
