On Thursday, 4th September, we welcomed designers to Actiu’s London showroom to explore how current macro trends — such as hyper-domestication, inclusion, resilience, and multifunctionality — were reshaping expectations of built environments. The session was presented by APE Grupo.
Futurea shared key insights from The New Habitat 26/27 trend report, followed by a panel of experts from hospitality and workplace design discussing the increasing convergence between the two sectors. As users sought comfort, personalization, and emotional wellbeing in every environment—from hotels to hybrid offices—design was no longer just about aesthetics; it had become about empathy, adaptability, and creating meaningful experiences.
