	View in browser

Hello Home Designers,

This week, we delve into the latest AD100 2025 list by Architectural Digest. A testament to the evolving tapestry of global interior design, architecture, and landscape artistry. The prestigious list shines a spotlight on visionary talents and rising stars, thus celebrating a mix of styles and cultures.

Global Representation

With honorees like Sir Norman Foster, Tadao Ando, and Jean Nouvel, the list reaffirms design's power to transcend borders. European designers dominate the geographic representation with 45%, followed closely by North America (40%). However, we're particularly thrilled to see an increase in Asian and South American designers, reflecting the growing influence of diverse cultures in shaping contemporary aesthetics.

Styles Rewarded

Minimalism leads as the most celebrated style, followed by traditional and eclectic designs, while sustainability emerges as a cornerstone of contemporary design thinking. Designers like Annabelle Selldorf, who masterfully merged historic preservation with modern functionality at The Frick Collection, illustrate how to blend the past and present. Meanwhile, Roman and Williams's exploration of light in "A Certain Slant of Light" redefines how aesthetics and practicality can coexist.

The AD100 2025 list also introduces 21 fresh honorees, who are reshaping the design landscape. Notable new members include:

Heidi Caillier, whose inviting, layered spaces blend vintage with contemporary.
Little Wing Lee, who celebrates inclusivity through culturally resonant designs.
Ross Cassidy, whose minimalist approach highlights function with striking sophistication.

By the Numbers

Returning designers form the majority, but the 21 new names inject fresh perspectives into the roster.

The geographic representation emphasizes how Europe and North America are prominent. But Asia and South America also have an increasing influence.

Minimalism and traditional aesthetics dominate stylistic choices. Simultaneously, innovative and sustainable designs continue to make their mark.

Why This Matters

The inclusion of new voices—designers like Little Wing Lee, who emphasizes storytelling and cultural depth, or Ross Cassidy, with his impactful minimalism—signals a broader recognition of non-conventional styles. These names challenge traditional norms, demonstrating that design is not only about aesthetics but also about telling stories.

While we take note of these renowned recognitions and get inspired by the talent on the list, at Home Designing, we also believe in celebrating and giving a stage to unique perspectives and up-and-coming talent from across the globe. These A-lists are undoubtedly inspiring, but there's much more beyond that. We strive to shine a spotlight on designers who may not yet have the celebrity status but are making waves with fresh ideas, creativity, and cultural relevance. Sometimes, it's the lesser-known names that push boundaries in the most profound ways.

At Home Designing, we celebrate the blend of the familiar and the fresh, the traditional and the avant-garde, and the celebrated and the undiscovered. Together, let's continue to draw inspiration from the world's best talents—and the next big names that are just waiting to be discovered.

Until next time 🤍
