MOVING HOUSE?

BEIJING • Martijn de Geus explores how the Olympic Games helped turn a former steel factory in Beijing into a lively urban neighbourhood.

MADRID • How is one of Europe’s most populous cities combatting some of its biggest individual – and collective – issues? Kayla Dowling finds out while visiting Madrid Design Festival.

‘The human touch will always be core to hospitality’

1 Why a new generation of hotel robots focuses on space over service

2 What can UX methodologies do for office design?

3 Will Amazon’s first fashion store disrupt offline customer service?

4 How can offices contribute to the rewilding effort?

‘We have to face a new world, and we have to abandon a lot of very stupid habits’

BACK OF THE HOUSE • Producers, scenographers and fashion-show designers extraordinaire, Anne Sophie Prevot and Thomas Warren count Thom Browne, Jil Sander and Acne Studios among their clients. Founders of the Paris production studio Back of the House, Prevot and Warren credit intuition for the integrity of their work – a quality that, they say, is inextricably entwined with creativity and innovation.

MICHELE DE LUCCHI • From designing useful tools like furniture and lamps to joining the experimental Memphis movement to thinking about entirely new ways of living: Michele De Lucchi has balanced provocation and practicality throughout his career. The Milan-based designer shares what he learned under the tutelage of Ettore Sottsass, why we should unlearn many past teachings, and why humanity’s survival relies on us collaborating as closely as a body’s cells.

THE GENERALIST • Today’s designers, believes Benjamin Hubert, need to be not just thinkers or makers but ‘informed generalists’. As such, the founder of London-based Layer is always keen to discover and implement clever innovations that improve everything from the flavour of wine to watch-wearing. Hubert’s full-service design agency – which comprises designers, engineers, artists, experience experts, researchers and branding specialists, and has envisioned holistic strategies for the likes of Aēsop, Airbus, Braun, Nike and Vitra – is on a quest to create products that are better for the planet and bring benefits to those who really need them.

‘We will see more hybrid hospitality-show spaces in the future’

Over the rainbow • In each issue, we identify a key aesthetic trend evident in our archive of recent projects and challenge semiotics agency Axis Mundi to unpack its design codes. Here, we look at how kaleidoscopic colour is injecting energy into retail environments.

The active office • Can spatial design stealthily encourage activity in one of the places we’re most chairbound? The designers of workspaces for two of the world’s biggest sportswear brands – Adidas and Nike – believe so.

Sensory retail • As people crave tactility once again, retailers are well-placed to turn their stores into high-touch sanctuaries for sensory pleasures.

Phygital runways • As inclusivity, sustainability and the metaverse become mainstays of the fashion agenda, shows that balance physical and digital presentation will reign supreme.

Eat - in exhibitions • The pull of hospitality – particularly post-lockdown – continues to infiltrate numerous spatial typologies, prompting creative institutions to serve up new ways for visitors...
