community DESCRIPTION:Organized by bayern design\, Munich Creative Business Week (MCBW) is Germany’s largest design event and a key international platform for Bavaria’s creative and design industries. From May 10 to 18\, 2025\, Munich Creative Business Week returns with the 14th edition\, evolving around the “design community” concept. MCBW once again transforms Munich into a city-wide stage for design innovation and interdisciplinary exchange.  \nDiscover Clerkenwell Design Week  \n \nMunich Creative Business Week 2025: how to design a vibrant community\nThe MCBW 2025 edition evolves around this motto: How to design a vibrant community? How can design help us build stronger\, more connected communities? In a world marked by increasing polarization\, the desire for togetherness has never been greater. This year’s motto invites participants to explore how design can serve as a powerful tool for fostering connection\, empathy\, and collective problem-solving. \nMCBW 2025’s theme is structured around three key focus areas: \nOpening minds: design awakens curiosity\nHow do we shift mindsets and inspire sustainable behavior in a world full of complexity and contradiction? Design drives learning and transformation — from office spaces that foster creativity to apps that reshape daily habits. Through design\, we spark curiosity and catalyze change. \nShaping togetherness: design Enables cooperation\nAs people grow more detached from traditional systems — in mobility\, housing\, and communication — the role of design becomes more vital. Design helps bridge divides\, invite participation\, and foster a sense of shared ownership. It speaks across languages and disciplines\, enabling collaboration and cultural expression. \nInspiring empathy: design elevates the human factor\nTechnology offers great promise\, but also challenges our humanity. Through thoughtful application of design and design thinking\, we can humanize emerging technologies like AI\, making them understandable\, accessible\, and ethical. Design keeps empathy at the core of progress. \nMCBW 2025 also features a rich mix of formats\, talks\, and showcases\, all centered on the power of design to build community. With fresh perspectives from new and returning partners\, the event offers inspiring responses to the question of how we can shape a design community. \nDiscover Design Month Graz 2025 \n \nMCBW Design Summit\nOn May 12\, 2025\, MCBW hosts its flagship event\, the Design Summit\, at Munich Urban Colab. The summit runs all day. Internationally renowned speakers pair up to explore key themes as MCBW Creative Explorers. Together\, they will examine how design can fuel a dynamic\, democratic\, and vibrant society. \n \nShaping togetherness: design sparks cooperation\nEzio Manzini\nEzio Manzini leads DESIS\, a global network of design labs. As president\, he champions sustainable and social innovation. His work shows how design enables people to collaborate and build solutions together. \nCarsten Waldeck\nCarsten Waldeck – designer\, inventor\, and founder of SHIFT – will receive the 2025 German Sustainability Award in two categories: Companies (for consumer electronics) and Products (for the SHIFTphone8). He also supports local initiatives in Hesse\, showing how design and entrepreneurship can strengthen communities. \nInspiring empathy: design highlights the human side\nKim Dabbs\nKim Dabbs\, author of You Belong Here\, speaks globally about empathy and belonging. Born in Korea and raised in the U.S.\, she uses her life story to promote understanding and social inclusion. Her work shows how design can build a sense of security and value in communities. \nAlona Kharchenko\nAlona Kharchenko co-founded Devanthro\, a Munich-based deep-tech start-up. In 2024\, Devanthro became the first company to use humanoid robots in private homes. Early trials showed strong bonds forming between remote caregivers\, clients\, and the robots—thanks largely to thoughtful design. \nOpening minds: design sparks curiosity\nAna Relvão\nAna Relvão tailors her design work to society’s needs. She believes design should fuel curiosity and community life. Her J*GAST kitchen showroom in Munich shows this in action. Developed through collaboration – not authorship – it reflects many voices and viewpoints. \nTim Brown\nTim Brown\, former CEO of IDEO\, pioneered design thinking. He promoted it as a way to tackle tough challenges and inspire human-centered innovation. His approach shows how curiosity-driven design can shape resilient\, creative communities. \nFor info an ticket for Design Summit\, visit the website https://www.mcbw.de/en/design-summit-2025 \n \nWhy visit\nMCBW is the largest Germany’s design event.

Now rebranded as the World Design Summit\, this year’s edition aims to be more ambitious than ever\, fostering global collaboration in the design industry. \nAs always\, the China International Furniture Fair (CIFF) will take place in two phases. The first phase\, from March 18-21\, will showcase home furniture\, textiles\, and accessories\, while the second phase\, from March 28-31\, will focus on office and commercial furniture. \nDiscover CIFF 2025 \n \nA key highlight of CIFF 2025 will be the 55th edition of CIFF Guangzhou\, which will host the World Design Summit on March 20\, 2025\, under the theme “Design Businesses Crossing Borders.” \nWe spoke with Tung Ching Yew\, Curator of the World Design Summit\, Founder and Managing Director of SODA (Spirit of Design Analogy Pte Ltd)\, and President of the Society of Interior Designers Singapore\, to learn more about the summit’s evolution and his expectations for this year’s event. \nClick here to register at CIFF 2025 \nTung Ching Yew\, the World Design Summit Curator \nThe origins of the World Design Summit\nHow did the World Design Summit begin? \nThe summit was first introduced in 2024 at CIFF Guangzhou under the name “Asia Pacific Design Summit.” Since then\, it has been rebranded as the World Design Summit to reflect a growing international presence\, attracting participants beyond the Asia-Pacific region.\nIn 2025\, the summit will welcome esteemed organizations such as the Association of Interior Designers from Italy and prominent business networks\, including the Abu Dhabi Business Chambers. With this expansion\, the focus has shifted from a regional to a truly global perspective. “At its core\, design is universal – whether in architecture or interior design\, it connects people beyond borders. It is a common language that transcends geography and disciplines\,” says Tung Ching Yew. \nRead more about CIFF history \nA holistic approach to design\nDoes the summit focus more on interior design\, product design\, or the design process as a whole? \n“My primary expertise is in spatial and interior design\, but I strongly believe that design is inherently interdisciplinary\,” Tung explains.\nHis own practice embraces a collaborative approach\, working with artists\, textile designers\, landscape architects\, and lighting designers to create unique and innovative projects.\n“This cross-disciplinary approach is essential—while interior designers are specialists in their field\, the best results come from understanding that design is a collaborative process. By working across disciplines\, we can push boundaries and achieve innovation that wouldn’t be possible in isolation.” \nClick here to register at CIFF 2025 \n \nThe collaboration between CIFF and the World Design Summit\nHow did the partnership with CIFF come about? \n“CIFF has a well-established audience and reputation in the furniture and design industry\, so we reached out to them last year. They generously provided the venue and all necessary stage equipment for a one-day summit\,” Tung explains. Hosting the summit at CIFF allowed organizers to engage an extensive network of professionals\, facilitating meaningful discussions within an already established industry platform. \nWhat does the future hold for the summit? \nIn 2024\, the Asia Pacific Design Summit hosted 10 design associations. This year\, as the World Design Summit\, participation has expanded to 14 associations\, reflecting growing global interest. Looking forward\, Tung hopes to broaden participation even further\, bringing together interior designers\, architects\, product designers\, and even fashion designers under one platform. “The summit is evolving. While we currently host it annually at CIFF\, we are open to the idea of rotating locations or adjusting the format based on demand. For now\, the focus remains on fostering a space for collaboration\, knowledge-sharing\, and inspiration across disciplines.” \nClick here to register at CIFF 2025 \n \nThe global impact of CIFF World Design Summit 2025\nThe World Design Summit at CIFF 2025 will feature the most influential interior design associations worldwide\, with confirmed participation from: \n\nItaly\nUAE\nSaudi Arabia\nNew Zealand\nSingapore\nMalaysia\nVietnam\nPhilippines\nTaiwan (China)\nThailand\nIndonesia\nJapan\n\nUnder the theme “Design Businesses Crossing Borders\,” the summit will examine how design businesses are expanding globally and navigating opportunities and challenges in the international market.
