The 70s Are Back — We Predict These "Retro-Inspired" Furniture Designs Will Be the Big Trend Next Year

Milan Design Week Minotti living room with green sofa.

When we think of 70's interiors we think vibrant colors, fun shapes, textures, and prints. Definitely a dopamine boosting style, we're not surprised to see it making a comeback in a time when we want our homes to not just look good, but also make us feel good. But leave it to the creativity of Italian brands at this year's Salone del Mobile to add a twist to the trend. The 70's aesthetic has been reimagined in a more sophisticated tone. 

We're still seeing a lot of color, incredibly plush and generous sofas in wonderfully textured material, and we'll still be able to enjoy the quirky shapes typical of the style. But there's a filter of elegance, a more grown-up vision laid on top, where the colors have richer, deeper tones, and are complemented by materials that elevate them. Shapes are fun and imaginative, but they have a more sculptural, artistic feel that gives them a more timeless presence, while pattern has been reimagined within the actual construction technique and layout of forms, and the materials used.
