In Decor\, curated by Elizabeth Leriche\, dives into the colors and materials that will shape tomorrow’s interiors.\nFor the September 2024 installation\, Elizabeth Leriche imagined five space-time capsules\, including shimmering sunlight\, black meteorites\, radical metallics\, aerial worlds\, and sand dunes. \nDiscover Paris Déco Off \nDesigner of the Year – Hospitality: Lionel Jadot and recycling\nLionel Jadot grew up in a cabinet-making workshop in a working-class Brussels neighborhood\, a family carpentry shop. There\, he learned to reuse woodworking scraps\, a technique he perfected in art school. His creations\, in fact\, feature his ability to work with raw materials sourced according to availability. Lionel Jadot creates unique works of functional art and collectible design. For interior architecture\, Jadot works with designer-makers\, who work with him in his atelier in Zaventem\, outside Brussels. His designs\, therefore\, are eco-friendly\, artisanal and technological at the same time. \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\nThe Future On Stage competition\nFor the past three years\, Future On Stage\, Maison&Objet’s major showcase for French and international talent\, has rewarded companies less than three years old that are at the forefront of innovation\, business and creativity in design\, decoration and lifestyle. The winners of the 2024 edition are Sungai Design (Bali and Paris)\, Konqrit (Buenos Aires)\, and Apollo (Bois-Colombes\, France). \nSungai Watch and Sungai Design\, from Indonesia\, are sisters brands. The former is an environmental foundation that collects and sorts plastic from Bali’s rivers. The newer brand started on a new path in recent months\, turning plastic into furniture. From the ideas of French brothers Kelly\, Gary\, and Sam Bencheghib came the Ombak chair\, made of recycled plastic and hand-assembled. \nFrom Argentina\, on the other hand\, comes Konqrit\, the brainchild of a former fashion consultant. Cecilia García Galofre set out to explore the boundaries of bathroom furniture\, and to see how far one can go with decoration. The result is bathtubs as works of art\, decorated both inside and out\, by different artists. \nFinally\, Paul de Livron pioneered a manufacturing technique to produce wooden wheelchairs\, under the Apollo brand. Creative and practical\, the designer-engineer creates unique pieces out of okoumé wood (or with charred Notre Dame beam splinters). To launch this wheelchair model\, Paul de Livron also organized a presentation to the Pope\, “the perfect testimonial.” \nDiscover Paris Design Week 2024 \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\nWhy visit\nMaison & Objet Paris has the power of one of the world’s biggest trade fairs \nMaison & Objet hosts 2\,500 exhibitors\, 55 percent from abroad.

Each edition of the 8-day festival is an opportunity to talk about design broadly\, as a discipline that affects the whole environment around us. The exhibitions\, workshops\, lectures\, and discussions cover current topics in technology\, process design\, ecology\, fashion\, architecture\, urban development\, and craftsmanship. Through diverse activities\, the design festival connects the design world with businesses. Gdynia Design Days is an event for professionals and all those fascinated by design\, who are interested in learning more about the changes taking place.  \nDiscover Paris Design Week  \nGdynia Design Days \nGydnia Design Days: gdynia-zdrój (Gdynia-spa) \nAlthough Gdynia has never been a spa town\, it has all the potential to become one. For the festival’s duration\, Gydnia was transformed into Gdynia-Zdrój\, a spa town 2.0 designed to meet the present challenges. Gdynia-Zdrój is the place where the economy\, the planet\, our society\, the locality\, and people can regenerate. The design festival wanted to explore the desire for renewal without untying itself from cultural and historical associations\, but responding to real and contemporary needs. \nGdynia is already a place where people seek renewal\, especially during these design days on Baltic Sea. It is where residents and visitors come to find regeneration\, balance\, and a good quality of life. Gdynia offers renovation through its contact with nature (proximity to forests\, parks\, and the Baltic Sea)\, and its modern character as a smart city designed to facilitate daily life. \nDiscover Boston Design Week  \nGdynia Design Days 2023 \nLooking for wellness design on Baltic Sea\nInspired by the usual activities of traditional spas\, Gdynia-Zdrój expresses a commitment to physical and psychological well-being. This wellness concept transcends the medical context\, focusing on long-term health maintenance through a good quality of life. \nCaring for the planet and the climate is one of the pillars of Gdynia Design Days. In this context\, each year there is an emphasis on circular design. Economic models\, in fact\, are in urgent need of a reset. Gdynia-Zdrój must also be a space for curating the relationship with virtual reality and artificial intelligence-and the way we perceive them.  \nIn recent months there have been renewed debates about the dangers of excessive immersion in virtual realms and automation. On the other hand\, ours is a period marked by a strong denial of these phenomena. But perhaps there is a possibility of healing the relationship between the analog and digital worlds? At Gdynia Design Days there is a belief that media operating in these two dimensions are actually one world. Here\, the artificial intelligence can complement the non-digital experience. \nDiscover Helsinki Design Week  \n \nWhy visit\nFirst of all\, Gdynia is one of Poland’s most important cities and a popular tourist destination on the Baltic Sea. This proximity to the sea makes Design Week interesting in terms of the issues it addresses. Indeed\, the rich program of speeches\, with many guests\, addresses issues related to well-being\, living with nature\, and the importance of design in the search for solutions for a better life. The various exhibitions explore the many possibilities that design offers. Gdynia Design Days are a treasure trove of solutions for more sustainable living\, from recycled materials to the study of algae to growing hydroponic vegetables.  \nGdynia Design Days\, June 22-30\, 2024\nFor professionals and general public\nSize: 30 brands\, 20\,000 visitors\nDifferent venues \nVisit Gdyniadesigndays.eu for info URL:https://designweekguide.com/event/baltic-sea-design-gdynia-design-days/ LOCATION:Gdynia\, Gdynia\, 80-209\, Poland CATEGORIES:Design Weeks & Weekends ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://designweekguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/gdynia-design-days-3-scaled.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Shanghai:20240619T100000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Shanghai:20240622T170000 DTSTAMP:20241110T211600Z CREATED:20240619T120004Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241110T211600Z UID:2919-1718791200-1719075600@designweekguide.com SUMMARY:Design Shanghai in China\, 11th edition DESCRIPTION:Design Shanghai\, one of China’s most influential design events\, returns with its 11th edition from June 19-22\, 2024\, at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Centre. \nDiscover CIFF Guanzghou 2024 \n \nAn important celebration at Design Shanghai 2024\nOver ten years\, Design Shanghai has grown into one of the world’s most important design exhibitions\, and the most important in China\, with 600 exhibitors.
