SUMMARY:Zagreb Design Week 2025
DESCRIPTION:Zagreb Design Week is Croatia’s largest design event. The theme for the twelfth edition focuses on exploring various realities. It emphasises the complexities of global challenges and the crucial role designers play in examining and questioning these Shared Realities. \nShared reality refers to the collective experience of perceiving the world in similar ways. ZGDW aims to explore how design can bridge the gaps between individual and collective experiences\, human innovation and ecological balance\, diverse cultures\, and a shared future. At its core\, Shared Realities theme is a call to rethink design as a collaborative\, inclusive\, and regenerative force that reflects the complexities of our interconnected world. Zagreb Design Week 2025 will further explore these shared realities as a platform for raising critical questions and generating real solutions to the challenges of our time. All participants will be invited to actively collaborate in creating a better\, shared future. Rather than merely improving existing solutions\, Shared Realities seeks completely new paradigms. Designers are encouraged to break away from established patterns and develop progressive methods that address the needs of future generations and diverse groups of people. This includes rethinking materials\, production processes\, and digital tools\, as well as how design communicates with users\, creates experiences\, and fosters positive change overall. \nLearn more: https://zagrebdesignweek.com/?page_id=119633

SUMMARY:IDX SYD - Celebrating World Industrial Design Day: Lets get ethical
DESCRIPTION:It’s that time again to put down the markers\, step away from that disobedient CAD file\, and wrap that concept presentation up so we can all catch up for the next Industrial Design Xchange event: Celebrating World Industrial Design Day. \nThis year’s theme? Let’s Get Ethical. \nJoin us as we celebrate with another one-of-a-kind show & tell night—this time diving into the messy\, meaningful space where design meets ethics. \nWe’re inviting you to reflect\, respond\, and bring an object that tells a story. \nBring an object\, material sample\, image\, or prototype\, or even a note from a project that made you stop and think. \nThe realm of ethics is vast\, complex\, and personal. To guide the evening\, we’ve layed out some themes to explore: \nEthics; Power  \nEthics; Responsibility \nEthics; Transparency \nEthics; Consent \nEthics; Repair \nEthics; Compromise \nTogether we’ll create an interactive gallery installation that surfaces the quiet (and loud) ethics code we tackle as designers. \nCome contribute to the collective conversation\, hear from others\, and raise a glass to ethics in action.

SUMMARY:10th International Alvar Aalto Design Seminar – Checkpoint
DESCRIPTION:The 10th International Alvar Aalto Design Seminar – Checkpoint will be held on Tuesday\, June 10\, 2025\, in Jyväskylä. 30 years ago\, at the first design seminar in 1995\, the focus was on design quality and craftsmanship\, and the user interfaces of the time were Windows95 and Nokia’s early mobile phones. \nToday\, in 2025\, it is the use of AI in design that gets people talking\, while authenticity\, humanity and craftsmanship are emerging as counterforces. On this occasion we will also pay homage to renewable heritage and tradition: this year marks 90 years since the founding of Artek\, and 13 Aalto buildings have been nominated for inscription in 2026 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We look with optimism towards a diverse future of sustainable development in design.
