SUMMARY:Hella Jongerius: Whispering Things
DESCRIPTION:Hella Jongerius is among the most influential designers of the past decades. Since the start of her career in the 1990s\, she has created groundbreaking works in many different disciplines\, including textiles\, ceramics\, furniture\, lighting\, and sculpture. Jongerius’ research-driven approach has been a defining influence for an entire generation of young contemporary designers. The exhibition is the first retrospective of Jongerius’ oeuvre and will explore all phases of her work\, including her famed collaborations with Maharam\, KLM\, Camper and Vitra. It is based on Jongerius’ studio archive\, acquired by the Vitra Design Museum in 2024. The centre stage\, though\, goes to the methods of JongeriusLab – layering ideas\, drawing connections\, emphasising materiality\, exposing process\, and researching deeply\, with a dedication to craft\, colour\, and cosmic thinking. The exhibition is accompanied by a major publication\, including a documentation of the Jongerius archive at the Vitra Design Museum. \nThe exhibition is supported by Global Sponsor Maharam\, Sponsor Camper\, and the IKEA Stiftung. \nLearn more: https://www.design-museum.de/en/exhibitions/preview.html \nImage: Hella Jongerius in her studio\, 2023 © Vitra Design Museum\, photo: Roel van Tour

SUMMARY:Ánako 3D Printing Design Award for Solidarity 2026
DESCRIPTION:In humanitarian emergencies\, the absence of small\, practical tools can have disproportionate consequences. A simple connector\, a stabilizing element\, a repair component or a basic medical accessory can determine safety\, functionality and dignity in fragile environments. Yet many of these objects remain unavailable\, not because they are complex\, but because they are not locally producible. \nIn this context\, WDO Member Ánako APS\, in collaboration with Prusa Research\, has launched the Ánako – 3D Printing Design Award for Solidarity 2026\, an international open call dedicated to the design of open-source\, 3D-printable solutions for humanitarian contexts. \nLearn more: https://www.anako.it/3daward%20-%20eng.html \nWDO Member: Ánako APS

DESCRIPTION:The 2026 Salone del Mobile is back as the star of the design calendar: the leading international event for the design industry will be held from 21st to 26th April\, at Milan’s Rho Fiera fairgrounds. Set up in 1961\, the trade fair boasts a wide range of furnishing products\, distinguished by their expressive power and their functional\, technological and material innovation\, devised to enhance the domestic scene.

It is here that prototypes and innovations in terms of furnishings\, domestic spaces and lifestyles are presented: bedrooms\, living and dining areas\, entrance corridors and service areas\, outdoor spaces with their furniture and cupboards\, upholstereds\, tables and chairs set the scene for a narrative that starts with this room\, exploring how the way we live is changing and\, consequently\, home living and furnishing. \nLearn more: https://www.salonemilano.it/en
