Harmonious Lifestyle Tech

Brands continue to ensure that tech blends more seamlessly into our daily lives and homes. Calm and gentle design cues seek to soothe weary consumers, while simplistic and practical features in directional colours help provide reassurance and enable ease of use.

Sustainable Futures

In terms of materials, sustainable developments were fairly muted across the halls, but that doesn’t mean commitments and efforts are dwindling. Palettes for repurposed, recyclable and renewable elements are being bolstered by low-impact and inventive zero-waste strategies.
