Historians and design professionals alike are drawing comparisons between today’s Covid pandemic and the Spanish influenza of the 1920s. A century ago, The tragedy of the Spanish flu sparked a revolution in design that gave rise to a new modern evolution in architecture and interior design. (Art Deco Design Era) with the additional triad of economic, social and climate challenges, and the surge of technological advances; we are in the cusp of another historical rebirth. This is the tale of the revival post Covid, a sort of progressive metamorphosis evident in our challenging culture and values. We are beginning to recognize and acknowledge the truth of our habits. They are becoming more pronounced, and the way in which we live is becoming more apparent as we are often reduced to the cramped confines of our interior spaces.
As a society, we are turning a page. The context draws attention back to the dwellings in which we live and who we really are.
