Dear readers,
I’m Sara Core, and today I want to speak not about trends — but about truth.
The future of design won’t be defined by technology, nor by the next material innovation. It will be defined by something quieter, deeper, more human — emotion.
We are entering an age where beauty is no longer visual; it’s visceral. Where what matters most is not what we see, but what we feel.
At PletoStudio, this belief shapes everything we do. Each lamp, each sculptural object, is created to awaken a subtle kind of intimacy — between the hand and the surface, the eye and the shadow, the space and the soul.
Emotion has become the new aesthetic because it is the only thing that cannot be automated. It carries human time — the patience of the maker, the softness of the material, the quiet imperfection that makes an object alive.
People are tired of sterile perfection. We long for texture, for warmth, for signs of life. We crave homes that calm us, materials that breathe, light that listens.
This is why feeling is the next frontier of design. Not as sentimentality — but as intelligence. The intelligence of touch, of empathy, of resonance.
When we shape clay or wool at PletoStudio, we are not just forming objects; we are translating emotion into matter. Each piece becomes a vessel of presence — proof that human hands can still speak in a digital world.
The future will belong to those who can make others feel.
And maybe that’s the most radical act of design today:
to stay sensitive.
With light, love, and stillness,
Sara Core
Trends & Style Editor at PletoStudio
