Forecasts and visions on living, storage and lifestyle

Would you like to know more about trends in the way people store cloths and things at home? Or how people’s need for storage changes with time? At Studio Elfa, architects, trend analysts, interior designers, fashion journalists and ethnologists give their side of the story.

In March this year some 1000 Swedes were asked about their habits and attitudes to storage and orderliness, and how these matters impact their well-being. At Studio Elfa, an apolitical think-tank, we bring us to a deeper understanding of the respondents’ answers. 

Studio Elfa is a group of renown experts in architecture, fashion, interior design, trend analysis, ethnology, and the real estate industry, who discuss and share views on the study and on storage in general. These experts’ forecasts and visions about the future of living, historical and economic perspectives on storage solutions and the impact of climate change on our consumption behaviour and lifestyle, are now gathered in a booklet. 

Enjoy the read.
