Marcomms Design Trends 2026 | The Convergence of Design & Wellness 🌿
Our founder, Tiffany Young shares her marketing communications trend for the new year with @theprnet “We believe the convergence of design and wellness in brand storytelling will be a defining marcomms trend in 2026, as audiences increasingly seek experiences that engage both their senses and emotions. Luxury brands are moving beyond traditional campaigns to craft immersive environments that tell a story, foster connection, and promote well-being. This shift reflects evolving consumer expectations, where artistry, materiality, and restoration intersect to create moments that are both meaningful and transformative.”
“Our @atelierspaparis activation during Paris Design Week 2026 exemplified this approach, blending design and wellness to create a serene retreat for the global design community. By curating a space that celebrated handmade artistry and offered moments of rejuvenation with complimentary spa treatments, it demonstrated how brands can leverage experiential storytelling to forge deeper connections with their audiences. As this trend continues to grow, we anticipate more brands embracing the intersection of design and well-being for lasting and meaningful impressions.”
It was April in Venice.
The kind of April where the light hits the canal just right and everyone who matters in the art world is suddenly in the same city, the same rooms, the same conversations.
We had one shot to make our client unforgettable in that moment.
So we built the story from the ground up. Shaped how they were seen. Got them in front of the right people, in the right publications, at the right time. And then we watched it land.
That campaign still lives in us. Not because it performed — though it did — but because it mattered. You could feel it in the room.
The Biennale opens again today. And we’re thinking about all the brands, artists, and ideas out there that deserve that same moment.
The ones that are too good to fade quietly.

Margaret Schwartz of @modernantiquarian and Tori Jones of @torijonesstudio sat down with the New York Design Center to discuss their spaces at @thegalleryat200lex , their shared passion for antiquities, and the journey that brought them into the world of antiques.
After hearing about one another through mutual acquaintances, Margaret and Tori met at the New York Design Center, where they quickly formed a supportive friendship. They bonded over their shared passion for vintage antiques, demonstrating how an appreciation for the past can inspire a meaningful and modern friendship.
Margaret, the founder of the Modern Antiquarian, entered the antiques industry somewhat unexpectedly. What began as a chance discovery and an antiques tour quickly evolved into a deep appreciation for antiquities. Margaret spotlights dealers such as Toma Clark Haines of Antiques Diva and Gail McLeod as some of her inspirations. With her new love of antiques, she made the decisive move to transition her retail store into a full-time antiques business. Since then, Modern Antiquarian has grown into a flourishing antiques business, now occupying a space at the New York Design Center.
Margaret and Tori continue to cultivate and share their enthusiasm for vintage and antique pieces, welcoming and inspiring new customers each day.

aspire design and home “Anatomy Of A Design Quarterly: Paris Deco Off And The Art Of Launching Well”
Thank you, @rps_consulting and @aspiredesignandhome for including our Paris preview ✨
@kendallwilkinsondesign x @iatestastudio
Timed to the energy surrounding Paris Deco Off, Kendall Wilkinson’s collaboration with Iatesta Studio was introduced in Paris through a preview of the first lighting pieces from the collection. Presented within the @atelierspaparis experience in @calmaparis Saint Germain, the initial designs offered an early look at sculptural forms, antique finishes, and meticulous craftsmanship. The broader collection is set to launch this Spring, with Paris serving as a considered and intentional first reveal.
