Omg you did come trough. I was thinking, maybe this year we sadly won't get a video in this series. So much appreciated!!! Please don't ever stop.

I had a break between shows on Netflix so I thought I’d make something

Your channel was just recommended to me. I study product design and this channel is a great informative past-time resource. I'm basically binging your channel though at this point haha. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I think the pacing in your videos is perfect and makes them even more enjoyable (or just plays a very big part). Keep going!

[@prashantsharma8978]

The lattice chair was hot.🔥

[@dejan.]

I’m calling it the heat sink chair! I’ve always loved pops of orange in products and the AWU stole my heart immediately upon release. Mint video, thanks.

[@somegraythings]

You know i actually thought about adding a fan on the back to make it an actual heat sink. But that’s a bit too wild. I also love a good pop

[@desert_echo]

Everyone needs a little pop and a little bam in their life. 🧡

[@TheRealStructurer]

I like these Trend videos. Gives me inspiration. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼

[@somegraythings]

Enjoy!

[@JAE_ROW]

Thank you every year!!

[@somegraythings]

Thanks for tuning in

Been waiting for your video!

[@mashukkhan9033]

This was very informative and helpful. Thank You.

[@FictionCautious]

Really fun in an educational way. Recommended!

[@Gilotopia]

These videos are like christmas morning for design nerds.

[@_D3adB0y_]

Sand / Stone and Orange Highlight are definitely big contenders.

[@omegaomar29]

Perfect understanding of trends

[@somegraythings]

U think so?

[@Bre_Creatively]

Soooo cool. I’m just a measly product manager at Amazon that bows to you cool and trendy design engineers. I can only hope one day to pivot to this fun and creative space! Keep creating folks!!! ❤

Cool video!! Happy to see some of my work used as a reference😍

Of course, it’s great work

[@aXis888x]

hopefully a 2024 trend will be more ID jobs available 😭. great video, i really enjoy seeing you work each of the trends into your chairs!

Yes, the job situation isn’t great in ID :/ thanks for watching

I did the Apple series already, unless I’m missing the point???

[@artjomspagin5383]

Always love to see the notification pop up about a new video! Never disappoint! May I ask you what these grey coloured sample plates are? (on the right) They look interesting!

Those are some rubber/elastomer hardness samples from Dezarc. They are really nice and convenient

Another great detailed video on the design trends. Come a long way from a student to a professional industrial designer! Thank you and have a creative year!

[@somegraythings]

Thanks for watching. You also have a creative year

[@gergelymihaly199]

This series is still awesome. Imagine training an ai model on these moodboards to design relevant stuff for a year within these style boundaries.

[@somegraythings]

Try it and let me know how it goes

[@ahmedwael7803]

good job man

[@somegraythings]

Thanks Broranasaurus Rex

[@colfax.]

great video, love your vibe talking through these styles lol. what modeling program are you using here? or maybe just a viewer on your ipad for the video

[@BrennanLetkeman]

man, I feel old. all of this looks like the stuff we had on our design tumblr blogs a decade ago

[@somegraythings]

Tumblr was way ahead of it's time. So was the fashion from Friends

[@felix___johannes]

Another relevant reference for the orange highlight aesthetic would be Dieter Rams, who if I'm not mistaken was the source of inspiration for Teenage Engineering. Anyways great video! Looking forward to seeing more

[@somegraythings]

Ya, TE is totally just a continuation of the Dieter. I feel like they are even a bit more refined than dieter. Too far?

[@felix___johannes]

Definitely a more modern take on his style. But too far I think not! I love it ʕ⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴥ⁠ꈍ⁠ʔ They're both big aesthetic inspirations for me honestly, even though I'm more of a wood oriented design person myself

[@dorianml704]

[@leowu6110]

Great video 👍 just discovered your channel! What rendering program do you use on your iPad? Looks quite smooth when switching angles

[@dino0228]

Stumbled on this. Nice to see the trends, but for me, those chairs need more work. I’m not going to sit on any chair that resembles a sausage (I’m a lady, but even if I wasn’t… Just saying!) I also won’t sit on one that is see-through, and the Lego one looks painful. Maybe it’s just me, but after safety, my top priorities for chairs are physical and psychological comfort.

[@innomind]

What IPad 3D modeling app are you using?

[@somegraythings]

Modelling on MacBook (description has the details)

[@sohaibfarooq2154]

what software are you using in the ipad to make the products, like that software where looked like it was rendering in real time

[@somegraythings]

Details in description (it’s keyshot and it’s just casting from my macbook)

[@fredoeyong1142]

love the content. just wondering what app you use on your Ipad to render ur 3D models

[@somegraythings]

I don't. It's Keyshot running on my MacBook and the iPad acts as a second screen

thank you verymuch @@somegraythings

[@MAX-cb1ys]

great video!!! What app are you using?

The room reverb and awkward compression in intro shot made me write this

[@somegraythings]

I did it to be annoying. No jk. That’s just my room 🤷

[@dj_donnychronic]

@@somegraythings might just need a little sound treatment tbh. I know it costs a couple bucks but u would benefit for sure and u could prob make a video on making or putting them up. 2birds1stone

What is the software displayed in 3D in the video? It looks so cool!

[@WoodEe-zq6qv]

That dining chair... bro

Probably super uncomfortable!

[@zhouding9490]

Hi there! I wonder which app you used on your tablet to render and display the chairs?

[@somegraythings]

I put all my software in the description

2:54-2:59 in your video@@somegraythings

[@eobet]

Me throughout this entire video: WHAT YEAR IS THIS 😂

[@randomstuffz365]

For all the 3D models which APP or Software did you use ?????

[@somegraythings]

In the description

[@memester230]

In my opinion this is more of a synopsis of 2023 design trends than 2024 trends. 2024 just started and I don't think a video can be made about the trends until the year is over lol.

[@somegraythings]

Ok sorry I’ll try harder next time

Do you have a Bambu X1C ?

hi men, i was wandering, since i have seen you using an iPad, what app will you recommend me to sketch en 3d?

[@somegraythings]

I put the software I use in the description. Sometimes I use Procreate to sketch, but there are some other KZbinrs with better recommendations on iPad sketching.

i have a question...how are these trends decided/identified? is it a collective opinion or is it ur individual observation. I would like to know how to identify trends....

[@somegraythings]

[@karlgroendal]

the chunky, sausage form language is definetly the biggest trend... anyone have a theory on why this is popular? What are the cultural trends informing this form language?

[@jackiecunningham6538]

ID student here, part of me thinks that this shift is less about culture and more about the softwares driving design. For example, Blender has given us the ability to create some very impressive, organic forms. With strong software comes a learning curve, and I feel that young design has leaned towards simplicity due to lack of experience. It's not a bad thing, simplicity in design is important and valuable. However, I hope that in the future we can shift back towards complicated, nuanced products.

[@salahworx6963]

I feel in those design the desire to show order in a too loud world. through repetitive geometrical patterns and stiff orderly alignments.

[@ajcox5402]

I feel like the color Sand has been heating up for a while, like it’s been trying to be a thing since the more homely/sorf wave of ID fabric on tech home pod/allbirds vibe ect … but that it has really popped off this year, like it’s taken a long time for people to try out all the different sand hues and now we’ve figured out the good ones

[@somegraythings]

Good point. Yeah it’s really in full force now. Lasting trend or temporary?

[@siimseiin]

Great video don't get me wrong. But I feel like design have been the same for almost 10 years. Maybe I'm missing something.

[@pavilionman64]

Designers should really stop checkin Apple, Dribble and Pinterest for inspiration...the results are wonderful but at the end all products have same minimalistic language leavin no room for risky and innovative shapes. Boring.

[@somegraythings]

But it’s fun being boring

[@axelhunger]
