It's time for a more friendly, soft, and people-oriented style.
Cyberpunk design has been trendy for several years in a row, characterized by vibrant neon colors, harsh lines, and dystopian backgrounds. At the same time, Figma CEO Dylan Field says that its dominance is gradually coming to an end.
"For a while, we were true futurists and cyberpunks, but now there is a feeling that we are becoming more humanistic. We may be transitioning to solarpunk," he said, comparing the Cybertruck with the newly announced electric SUV Rivian R3.
Field highlighted the contrasting characteristics of cyberpunk and solarpunk aesthetics, emphasizing the dystopian spirit of the former with its focus on metal, concrete, and low-polygonal designs, which "evoke a sense of depression but maintain sharp attractiveness."
Meanwhile, Solarpunk design embodies a vision of the future that emphasizes harmony with nature and focuses on eco-friendliness. It often includes organic forms, bright colors, and takes a more optimistic view.
"Cyberpunk is somewhat oppressive, but it has its advantages. At the same time, solarpunk is more natural and blends in with the environment, rather than trying to stand out as part of technology or architecture," says Field.
