MICRO TREND
Designing products with a ‘less is more’ approach This trend is all about elevating the features that matter. Increasingly ableism discrimination in favour of able-bodied people - in design is being scruitinised. This is reflected in a recent move by the Chinese government to prioritise accessible design features for older adults. As the number of people living with a disability increases in China, there will be a greater need for mobility solutions that address these issues with innovative designs, helping people of all abilities to achieve greater quality of life and wellbeing. As a result, designers and brands are beginning to take a different approach, designing products and services. Excess is stripped away and key functionalities are brought to the fore, making their use better for everyone.
