Orbit Revive
Like the other trends, Orbit Revive is shaped by the current cultural narrative, which is explained as:
Technological progress is here to stay and is drastically changing how we live and work. Just like the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s, we find ourselves on the eve of technological breakthroughs. This gives us a sense of looking into the past as well as the future. This ‘vintage futurism’ can be seen in interiors through a combination of retro Space Age and modern organic design. Iconic design classics have returned, and James Bond himself seems to have had a hand in the decadent, luxury interiors.

A retro futuristic interior comes together by combining rounded forms and organic shapes.
