According to Saif Faisal, Founder, Saif Faisal Design Workshop, “Craftsmanship is being revived—be it industrial or handmade, the ‘art of making' objects with great care and consideration has become crucial to the industry.” Pieces that are one-of-a-kind are always more valuable than mass-produced furniture and the trend is moving towards individuality. Faisal adds that the shift in interest towards craftsmanship will aid sustainability and will help local craftsmen and skilled workers come back into the limelight.

Furniture Trends 2019: Art-Inspired
Shantanu Garg, Founder and Creative Director, Shantanu Garg Design & Shantanu Garg Bespoke Concept, believes that with the growing need of visually-pleasing aesthetics, furniture is likely to become a medium to express art. “I see transitional designs as the growing trend as it gives the liberty to express the contrast and conflict of multiple styles thereby achieving a visible visual balance. Projecting this as a trend, furniture will see application of bold colours, metal, prints and textures,” he says.
