REVOLUTION

The curated list of 2026

Holographic Flat

Holo / Light / Physics

The oxymoron of the year. Designers are simulating depth without shadows, using light diffraction patterns and interference colors to create flat surfaces that feel like they have volume.

AI Nostalgia

Glitch / AI / Retro

Remember the "early days" of 2023? This trend mimics the glitchy, hallucinated aesthetics of early generative AI. Extra fingers, warping backgrounds, and uncanny valley vibes are now a feature, not a bug.

Bio-Luminescent UI

Dark / Glow / Eco

Dark mode is dead. Long live "Deep Sea" mode. Interfaces that glow from within, mimicking deep-sea creatures. Using minimal energy on OLED screens while providing high contrast.

Zero-UI Spatial

Spatial / AR / Clean

Designed for AR glasses first. Content hangs in the air, free from bezels. On desktop, this translates to floating elements with no visible containers, relying entirely on proximity and gaze tracking simulations.

Sustainable 4.0

Eco / Fast / Raw

The web diet. Sites that load under 50KB total. Dithered images, system fonts only, and muted colors to physical reduce screen power consumption. Green hosting is mandatory.

Acid Graphics

Acid / Rave / Bold

A chaotic mix of 90s rave culture and modern 3D renders. High contrast neon colors, distorted typography, and experimental layouts that break the grid intentionally. It is loud, proud, and in your face.

Bento Grids

Bento / Grid / Clean

Inspired by Japanese lunch boxes, this layout style organizes content into neat, compartmentalized rectangles. It provides a structured yet flexible way to display diverse media types in a cohesive manner.

Retro Y2K

Y2K / Retro / Fun

Nostalgia for the turn of the millennium. Think metallics, bubble gum pinks, and futuristic optimism from the year 1999. Pixel fonts and aliased edges are making a strong comeback.

Ultra Minimal

Minimal / White / Pure

Stripping away everything non-essential. Massive amounts of whitespace, tiny typography, and monochromatic color palettes. The interface almost disappears, leaving only the pure content.
