"Wonder if people will get tired of that eventually, and it will become the epitome..."
100%. Trends come and go. How we feel (guilty here) about the minimal aesthetic, was how those in the 70's felt about Avocado bathrooms and hexagonal print wallpaper. I can't help being extremely judgemental of that style, but I realise that I too would have probably found it attractive and in at the time. Our children will look back at Scandi-style with the same feeling.

- alva 10y ago"..will last forever.." Architecture and design may last a long time, however that does not mean they are looked upon favourably by the zeitgeist. History proves this time and time again. I think it is a mistake to think "we have got it right this time", as if we are immune to these trends. We are very susceptible to thinking in this way. edit: Unless you think design is going down the path of constant refinement, eventually leading to some fundamental perfect design. I do not believe this exists.
