Catawiki collaborates with the culturally-focused division of TopMob, known as Hypemind, to produce an extensive report titled “The Ultimate Guide to 21st Century Iconic Figures.
Digital marketplaces such as Catawiki have significantly transformed the realm of collecting, making obscure hobbies and underground cultures more open and reachable than ever before. This collaboration signifies the impact that fast-evolving culture, driven by technology and social media, has had on reshaping the industry as we move towards the end of the first quarter of the 21st century.
The report features insights from a diverse group of global industry professionals, such as editors, fashion specialists, and curators, who delve into the influential trends, items, and brands that have significantly impacted modern culture. By utilizing data from the most frequently searched terms on its online marketplace in 2023 and the outcomes of a qualitative survey, along with Catawiki’s internal knowledge, they created an extensive catalog of objects and brands from the 21st century. Initially, the panel explored what attributes define something as iconic, focusing on the tales associated with these items, with “narrative object” serving as a central concept. They subsequently used their findings to compile the final list of 100 notable items.
