CHAMPIONING PLAY
In challenging times, it’s vital to embrace the lighter side
of life. This issue celebrates creativity, ingenuity and joy in
design across all typologies – workplaces, retail, hospitality,
shows and living spaces. We explore how building an element
of surprise into design processes and purposefully leaving
things up to chance can have powerful outcomes. Whether
it’s a playful twist in a workplace design or a hospitality
environment that surprises its guests, we examine how
playfulness can make spaces more memorable – and even
enhance mental and physical wellbeing.

INTERIOR ACTIVISM
This issue challenges the conventional trajectory of design,
celebrating those who dare to disrupt the status quo in
workspaces, retail, shows, hospitality and living spaces. We
spotlight designers using their work to push boundaries and
create meaningful change. Exploring the tension between
friction and seamlessness, we look at what human-centric
design means in a tech-driven world. We also delve into
contrasting ideas – like the intersection of craft and
technology, or the collision of local and global influences –
highlighting how these seemingly opposing forces can
coexist, and perhaps even strengthen spaces and products.

DESIGNING FOR LONGEVITY
This issue explores longevity across various design
dimensions, from material durability to sustainable practices
to how design can support us as we age. We delve into the
idea of ‘staying power’ by examining products and spaces that
are designed to endure. As human life expectancies increase,
we reflect on how this shift is reshaping our workspaces,
living arrangements and communities. Honing in on all things
intergenerational, we envision a future where longevity is not
just a trait but a philosophy.

RECOVERY MODE
In an era marked by loneliness and reduced physical activity,
this issue focuses on how design fosters mental and physical
wellbeing across key typologies – workplaces, retail, shows,
hospitality and living spaces. We explore the rise of holistic and
alternative wellness tools, as well as architectural approaches
that prioritize healing for both people and the planet. From
restorative architecture to spiritual spaces to wellbeing-focused
tech, we examine how design can create environments and
products that nurture, restore and inspire, providing sanctuary
in today’s fast-paced world.
