    04 | Emerging Design
    Dec 4 2023
    Emerging design is a scenario in constant flux, shaped by a new generation of professionals which are guided by values such as the sustainability of processes and products, the research on new materials, an innovative use of colours, and the constant attention to people’s changing living needs. We shed a light on some of the most interesting projects launched in the last few years that are worth keeping an eye on

    03 | Product
    Nov 19 2023
    The identikit of the contemporary consumer is continually changing, not only in terms of purchasing methods but also, and most importantly, of the values that guide consumers’ choices. What is clear is that the approach to consumption has become responsible, focused on details and the impact of the products purchased.
    So what is behind a product? How does it come into being? Is the product, today, always the result of virtuous production processes? We try to answer in the third episode of Design Forward.

    02 | Technology and Design
    Nov 6 2023
    In its second episode, our design-related press review focuses on a theme which is at the core of our age: technology. What role will architects and designers play in the age of AI? How can they acquire a real digital mindset? How is Artificial Intelligence helping design companies to respond to the changing needs of people? And what will be the impact of AI on the job market and the design of workplaces?
    We try to answer, being aware that our relationship with technology is inevitable, and very complex on many points of view.

    The first episode deals with a topic that hardly needs an introduction: sustainability. Nowadays, a workhorse in political, social and corporate communication. The risk of this overuse is that such an important concept could become not effective. But what does it really mean today to talk about sustainability? And for a company, how to adopt truly sustainable strategies and behaviors? Can there be a sustainable design? Let’s try to broaden the perspective.
