8 Product Design Trends for 2025, According to Designers

Unexpected pairings and artisanal elements make their way to the forefront

Words by: Caitlin St John

As the design world embraces eclecticism and out-of-the-box thinking, there is a move away from mass-produced, machine-made pieces in favor of more bespoke, handmade options.

Product design, specifically, is leaning into a rich blend of artisanal, handcrafted elements and unexpected material pairings.

Here, designers share the trends they are embracing to craft spaces that feel intentional, grounded, and unique.

“We’re seeing a lot of ‘worked’ finishes—think carved and textured wood, burnished metal, handmade ceramic, handblown glass. I’m thrilled, as the idea of a more crafted, handmade palette and its ability to elevate and humanize a modern form or interior is such an important part of our firm’s design ethos. This rejection of machine-made carbon copies in favor of more bespoke pieces speaks to a new way of thinking about luxury.” —Andrew Kline, principal, Workshop/APD

“The beauty of design today lies in its boundless creativity, there’s no strict formula for pairing patterns or colors. Designers are embracing a renewed sense of eclecticism, bringing together bold and unexpected combinations, like luxurious couture elements alongside nostalgic textures, such as classic plaids. This approach celebrates individuality while ensuring palettes and materials remain intentional and deeply meaningful within a space.” —David Buffery, senior design director, Pierre-Yves Rochon

“We’re going to see more lacquered products in glossy, dark, deeply saturated colors—especially tables. Low VOC lacquers have opened the possibility for products in beautiful glossy gem tones, and I expect to see some hitting the market soon.” —Hines Fischer, lead product designer, Goodrich

“The long-trending wood slats period—seen coast to coast, city to city—[has come to an end]. While the wood slat trend may be behind us, colors are still trending warm and natural—browns, greens, camel, and beige. A little 1970s in some cases, and orange wood from the ’80s and ’90s is back, too. Having lived through these styles a time or two I tend to not pay attention to what is trending color wise. I find the selection of color and materials to be integral to the design concept.” —Lauren Rottet, founding principal + president, Rottet Studio

“Monochromatic spaces will continue to gain popularity, with warm, rich hues like Pantone’s Color of the Year, Mocha Mousse. This pinkish-brown shade, reminiscent of coffee and chocolate, offers a luxurious atmosphere that feels both timeless and inviting.” —Sara Duffy, principal, Stonehill Taylor

“Product design that feels rooted in nature, with patterns and textures that feel like they’re existing within the space—something that grew out of the surrounding area. We’ll also see a continued attraction to artisanal handcrafted elements, emphasizing fine details and exceptional fabrics.” —Will Meyer, cofounder, Meyer Davis

“Emergent trends in product designs draw a focus on personalities of form and volumetric tensions. There is a lot of experimentation going on with ceramics, glass, and even resins. What was considered unrefined or gauche is now sought after as designers flock to malleable works. Hospitality and retail products on the horizon are becoming microcosms of our larger world, which is both precious and refreshing.” —Steven Eshleman, director of industrial design, AvroKO

“We’re exploring a high/low mix by incorporating materials that are often overlooked or upcycled and giving them a fresh perspective. It’s about elevating these elements to create unexpected combinations that feel refined and intentional.” —Bahar Ghaemi, creative director of products, Yabu Pushelberg
