THE FIRST SEASON OF THE NEW DECADE SAW A LEGION OF DESIGNERS ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF SUSTAINABILITY AND LONGEVITY—WHETHER BY RETHINKING METHODS AND MATERIALS, IMBUING PIECES WITH MEANING AND PRECIOUSNESS TO BE CHERISHED FOREVER, OR STRIPPING BACK THE SUPERFLUOUS TO CRAFT DESIGNS THAT WILL STAND THE TEST OF TIME.

The new decade brings a slew of fresh ideas, with some designers reimagining concepts from the past—be it three decades or three centuries ago.

The objective: a year-end standout style reboot.
