What if design could regenerate the planet rather than deplete it?
At the historic Zollverein coal complex in Essen – once a titan of the Industrial Revolution – a new era is quietly unfolding. Sustainability By Design (SBYD) is a radical new collective reimagining the legacy of this iconic site with fresh eyes and planet-positive materials.

At Dutch Design Week, SBYD.SPACE showcased Spaces for Tomorrow, a thought-provoking exhibition featuring 18 experimental projects exploring how we might live, build, and create in harmony with nature.

From eggshell plant pots that nourish soil to fungi-based veneers (yes, you read that right), and poetic ceramic glazes made from heavy metal-polluted plants, each project is a bold statement on how waste, biology, and creativity can shape the next chapter of design.

This is a glimpse into the future of making. A future where products are designed to decay, materials are grown not made, and imperfections are celebrated as part of the story.

Leading by Design: Claire Menzies on Purpose, People & the Future of Our Industry

In a powerful trio of thought pieces, Claire Menzies – Group Chairwoman & Founder at Istoria Group – shares a bold and refreshingly human perspective on what the future of the design industry should look like.

Across the series, she tackles some of the most important conversations we should be having in our creative businesses right now. From what truly sustainable design looks like in practice, to the importance of good governance, and how considered leadership can foster not only innovation but long-term team loyalty.

Claire argues that design leadership today must be holistic—valuing well-being, long-term vision, and creative sustainability just as much as commercial success. Whether she`s discussing the power of flexible working or the ripple effect of purpose-driven governance, every article is packed with thoughtful, real-world insights from inside an award-winning, people-first agency.

This week, the iconic Garden Senato has been transformed into the GROHE Aqua Gallery — an immersive, design-led experience that’s all about reconnecting us with water in the most beautiful, sustainable way possible.

From the revolutionary GROHE Purefoam (think vertical bathing wrapped in soft, hydrating foam 👀) to the stunning new Essence Crafted Lever taps, this exhibition blends innovation with pure sensory delight. It’s where tech meets tranquillity, and every detail is designed to stir your senses.

Created by the LIXIL Global Design team and inspired by Fuorisalone’s theme of Connected Worlds, the Aqua Gallery is full of surprising moments — including an Aqua Poem space for quiet reflection, and a bar built entirely from recycled bottles that shines a light on sustainable water solutions.

If you`re in Milan, this one’s a must-see. Head to Via Senato 14 and dive in before April 13.
