FutureStandard explores and experiments with hypotheses about emerging consumer behaviours and lifestyles, new business models and synthetic lifestyles in the realms of luxury, beauty & wellness.
We achieve this by developing ventures positioned firmly in Horizon 3, enabling us to gain first-hand consumer insights and explore trends. This approach allows us to create data-driven responses to what’s next for the luxury industry.
We build ventures for future insight.
