Trends cycle every few years, but proportion, the actual relationship between a piece and its room, stays relevant regardless of style.
Why Proportion Outlasts Trend
A well-proportioned piece like the Nagomi Console looks correct in a room years after its finish falls out of fashion, because the relationship between object and space doesn't depend on trend cycles.
Where Trends Fail
A trendy piece with poor proportions looks dated almost immediately once the trend passes, since nothing about it was ever suited to the room in the first place.
The Honest Verdict
Buy for scale and proportion first, style second. A correctly sized piece survives changing tastes far better than a fashionable one that never quite fit the room.
