Perché il design industriale ha bisogno di una memoria C’è un gesto, dentro Shoreditch Design Week 2026, che sembra piccolo ma in realtà è enorme: Design Burger che presenta The Product Design 100. Un libro, un’esposizione, un archivio. Cento progetti industriali degli ultimi dieci anni, raccolti, ordinati, selezionati. Non è un catalogo, non è una…
The generation that sculpts design instead of narrating it A subtle thread runs through Shoreditch Design Week 2026, and it isn’t made of trends. It is made of hands. Hands that shape, cut, sand, fire, and experiment. Hands that seek not industrial perfection, but the truth of the gesture. Hands belonging to a generation that…
Neuro-inclusivity as a new cultural frontier There is a point in the evolution of contemporary design where form ceases to be the protagonist. It is the moment when a project stops asking merely how it looks and starts asking how it is perceived. This year, Shoreditch Design Week demonstrates this with almost disarming clarity: design…
Why Shoreditch Has Become the Ethical Laboratory of European Design There is a moment each year when London stops playing the role of the cool design capital and remembers it is a grown-up city. This year, that moment coincides with Shoreditch Design Week—and more specifically, with what Material Matters brings to the neighborhood: a vision…
From newsletters to podcasts, the next generation of independent creators isn’t chasing algorithms—they’re building communities they actually own. For years, success in digital publishing seemed to depend on social media. Millions of followers, viral posts and endless content production became the benchmark for relevance. But something has changed. More and more creators are realising that…
There’s a curious paradox in the way artificial intelligence is being talked about to the general public. It’s everywhere, infused into every conversation, every feed, every conference; yet, the more its presence increases, the more a certain collective weariness grows. It’s not disinterest, but saturation. A background noise that risks turning one of the most…
There is a particular electricity in the air when a city decides to honour the people who once shook its foundations. On 20 June, London opens the doors of the world’s first Museum of Youth Culture, a permanent space in Camden dedicated to the movements, mischiefs, rebellions and aesthetics that have shaped modern Britain. It’s…
1947 — 2026 There are no words, no speech that can truly contain the memory of Remo Salvadori. For me, he was not only one of the leading figures of a remarkable cultural season, but also a constant presence throughout fifty years of friendship. A return to the essence of things shaped both his artistic…
In a cultural landscape increasingly shaped by algorithms, rapid consumption and endless scrolling, the upcoming group exhibition Instant Happiness at Art Hub Studios attempts to pause and reflect on what it means to continue creating within the noise of contemporary image culture. Curated by Dylan Morris and Reuben Yoell, the exhibition brings together a multidisciplinary…
A city that built its ambitions in concrete London has always been a city negotiating with its own contradictions. It expands, contracts, reinvents its edges, and occasionally chooses to show itself without embellishment. Brutalism, here, was never an aesthetic diversion. It was a moment of clarity — a period in which the city expressed its…
