Salone del Mobile confirms date change
Milan's Salone del Mobile furniture fair has confirmed that its 60th-anniversary edition will be postponed until 7 to 12 June "to ensure a strong presence of foreign exhibitors and professionals". The 60th edition of Salone del Mobile, will now be held at the Fiera Milano fairground in early June.
Designers can – and should – have local impact
Plexiglass barriers. Social distancing signage. Updated storefront layouts. When the Urban Design Forum and Van Alen Institute set out to launch a pandemic-response design initiative in spring 2020 in New York, these are the kinds of solutions that were expected teams might deliver. What was found instead was an upending of the traditional role of design.
The benefits of a four-day work week
Covid-19 has resulted in businesses, corporations and governments moving from the office to the cloud, making the ‘impossible’ a reality. What has been stopping us from going one step further and rolling out the four-day working week? The sudden shift to working from home in 2020 has opened people’s eyes to the fact that our ‘cemented’ structures of work are actually very adaptable.
What designers are doing to help save the planet, and how to help
Based in Amsterdam, with hubs in São Paulo, Mexico City, Delhi, Nairobi and Tokyo, WDCD was founded by creatives who want to make a practical difference, using the power of design. They've just launched a new book, Never Waste A Good Crisis, which shines a spotlight on 31 creative optimists working to reinvent our relationship with waste.
