1. Haptic Technology revolutionised in mobile phones - sense of touch e.g. The Samsung Anycall Haptic.
2. iPad launched in 2009 ---> Rise of the tablets and Amazon kindle
4. Instagram app launched in 2010- - everyone can be a 'professional photographer' using filters
5. Pinterest launched in 2010 to you can pinboard and share ideas. Another way of showing self-expression.
5. Small space, pods - George Clark's Amazing Spaces
(from future of interior seminar below)
-involve the client in every stage. No longer just able to do it of own back
-Collaboration is very important
Future?
1. Smart living - e.g. smart oven, smart fridge. Wifi enabled, touchscreen, scanning dates. Could impact the designs and interiors of our kitchens.
2. Watched a video recently (from 2011) about the future of glass and how this will revolutionise homes, work, retail etc. Studio TEX wanting a large iPad as a table will become a reality (according to this anyway!):

Examples- photo/light-sensitive glass, flexible glass, meaning technology and its possibilities are very much integrated into our lives
3. Taken from WGSN macro trends for S/S interiors 2015
http://www.wgsn.com/content/report/Design_Direction/HBL/Spring_Summer_2015/s_s_15_interior_macro_trends.html
A) FOCUS: The material world comes into focus as we switch our viewing mode to high-definition. Sensory experiences and photographic prints help us to celebrate the beauty of our surroundings. We see the world in clear, unfiltered vision or use veils and tints to add a hazy sense of romance.
B) HISTORY: In History 2.0, real histories and imagined futures merge to create fantastical products. Inspired by the possibilities offered by de-extinction and design futures, designers explore new technologies and ancient craft techniques, and breathe new life into retro design styles.
C) BIO-DYNAMIC: The organic forms of microbial life inspire a bold direction for interiors that is melted, dragged, elastic, gooey and even kitsch. Print and pattern take their cues from flat, abstract mark-making while hard products develop a more relaxed, softer style.

Technology and interior design aren’t necessarily two concepts that you would put together, but the Openarch project from Spanish architecture firm Think Big Factory have combined them with awe inspiring results. Openarch is a smart home, not a plan of a smart home on a computer screen, but a real prototype. It is the first home designed from scratch to incorporate a digital layer connecting the house and its elements to the internet. An adult playground, the house is fully interactive using every surface. The gestural interface developed by Openarch completely breaks the limitations of interacting with a computer through a screen, mouse and keyboard. Its unique ability to transform means it can adapt to any condition the user requires.
5. The future of lighting is not LED but laser lighting. This has been successful in the automotive industry and using innovations from the Kindle technology. http://qz.com/146761/forget-led-bulbs-the-future-of-interior-lighting-is-lasers/
6. We will all be our our interior-designer (easy CAD programs) with a little help from the pros: http://www.homeadvisor.com/article.show.The-Future-of-Interior-Design-for-Kitchen-and-Bath-Remodels.16853.html
7. Collaborations are key. Specialities coming together. Creative thinking and solutions. Help companies to differentiate in an increasingly competitive market. http://www.interiordesign.net/articles/detail/35638-the-future-of-design-education-teaching-innovation/
8. Experiments with materials continue. Particular interest in the use of salt, sugar and spice. http://www.wgsn.com/content/report/HBL/Trend_Analysis/2013/November/sugar_salt_spice.html
Summarised-
- Designers continue to experiment with food as a material for everything from architecture to furniture and home accessories
- Salt is used to grow buildings and lighting, and on a smaller scale to make tableware that adds in flavour throughout the cooking and eating process
- Sheets of boiled sugar make houses, emergency furniture and cut crystal-inspired sweets, while sugar in its raw form is used for 3D printing and to cast ceramics
- Piles of herbs and spices add colour and texture to typography
9. Seminar on the future of interiors (sep 2012): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qT-kgaN-F_M
- sustainable design- it will last/ not thrown when out of fashion
-involve the client in every stage. No longer just able to do it.
