Trends
What we are
actually asked for.
Most trend writing is a list of pictures with adjectives attached. These are the shifts we can see from inside a studio that designs original work every week — with the commissions that show them, and no numbers we have not measured.
01
How these are written, and what they are not.
Every observation here is anchored to commissions you can open and look at. Nothing is illustrated with stock photography, and nothing is quantified — we have not run a survey and we do not publish percentages we have not measured. A trend claim reads as a data claim whether or not a number is attached to it, so it is worth being explicit: this is a studio's view from inside its own work.
They are also updated in place rather than republished annually. A "2027 trends" post written in 2026 and abandoned is worse than no post — it goes stale on a fixed date and drags a dated URL behind it forever. These pages carry a reviewed date and change when the work changes.

The pages.
Invitation trends
What is actually shifting in the invitation itself — format, material, and the move away from the suite as a fixed set.
Colour trends
Where the palettes are going, and the honest caveat about how colour trend reporting works.
Typography trends
The clearest signal of a design's age, and the one most people never look at.
Event design trends
Beyond paper: what is changing about how events are structured and communicated.
When there will be numbers. The house is building a Design Trends Index — palette, typography and motif frequency across every suite it designs — and an RSVP benchmark from real guest behaviour. Neither is published, because neither has a sample large enough to be honest about. When they do, the figures will appear on these pages with the method stated. Until then, no percentages.
Or skip the commentary and look at the work.
Fifty complete commissions, each one a real event with real constraints — which tells you more about where design is going than any list of adjectives.
