Key Points

  • Art and Design:

      • NEOs gravitate towards mid-century modern furniture, avant-garde fashion, and minimalist architecture that prioritises craftsmanship and creativity.

      • Example: Choosing a gallery exhibit that highlights sustainable art or commissioning a local artisan for custom furniture.

  • Entertainment:

    • Experiential and Inspirational:

      • They avoid formulaic entertainment in favour of niche or experimental offerings.

  • Wellness:

    • Holistic Approach:

      • NEOs integrate mental, physical, and emotional health through activities like yoga, Pilates, or immersive wellness retreats.

      • Their wellness routine is often intertwined with sustainability, such as choosing organic produce or supporting local farmers.
