Abstract

In recent years, the binary opposition of gender has begun to disintegrate, reflecting a broader cultural shift towards the acceptance of diverse identities. We are living in a time that champions the recognition of multiple identities and advocates for the freedom of self-expression. The rise of gender-neutral design is not merely a change in design trends; it represents a significant social phenomenon. It serves as a reminder that rigid stereotypes should confine no individual's existence. Whether it is the clothing we wear, the furniture we choose for our homes, or the art we create, all these elements explore a central question: can we find our identity in a world that transcends conventional boundaries? This design philosophy invites individuals to break free from traditional gender frameworks and labels, allowing for a more flexible expression of self.
