The COVID-19 pandemic has brought the world to a standstill. With people rethinking how they live or produce, we are star ting to search for ways to use precious assets which were previously overlooked as resources that could be recycled. “Sensible Society” is a theme that proposes warm, comfortable, minimalist décor that can be used for many years, seeking ways to raise the decorative value of sustainable materials with an eye towards recycling resources.

We can now lead lifestyles without being tied to a single place, thanks to the evolution of technology. People are starting to incorporate long-desired natural environments or raw, primitive things into their lives, leaving behind the clamor of the big city and the sense of isolation that the pandemic accelerated. “Borderless Sanctuary” is a theme that expresses the inner sanctuary that these people yearn for in a design that is both natural and luxurious.

The blurring of the boundaries between the physical and the digital, the real and the vir tual, is one way in which technological progress can be felt in our daily lives. People stressed by real society can be freed from that, finding places to express themselves in virtual worlds, so-called “third places.” “Phygital Escape” is a theme that expresses this sense of comfor t combined with technological sophistication through its merging of natural wood grain and technology.
