In my previous post I discussed  Messe Frankfurt‘s trend predictions for 2011/2012 and the first part of their trend theme, Sobriety. The second part of the Sobriety theme is called Serenity.

The Serenity trend characteristic makes it clear that consumers are re-evaluating their lifestyle and are looking for products to build emotional attachment with.

New School reinterprets the classic design of the 1950s, while Classic Modernity reflects a style, which symbolises honesty, quality and consistency, evoking nostalgia and authenticity.

Minimal Luxury satisfies the need for pure, clean, simple designs and symbolises a charming, timeless look.

These characteristics can be seen exhibited in the following Etsy artisans.

    I have always been of the “less is more” fan club, so this suits me perfectly!!

    Love the clock. Can’t wait till the next post!

    I’m also a big fan of less is more. Just ask my BF, I’ve been doing a lot of sorting this past week and getting rid of a lot of stuff. He may not agree with it all, so I do it when he’s not around. Can’t miss what you haven’t looked at in over a year, right?
