2025: A Year of Design, Discovery & Defining Moments

As the final pages of the calendar turn, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the highlights that shaped 2025, both locally and globally. From unforgettable events and inspiring interviews to international design fairs that sparked fresh ideas, this year was a celebration of creativity, connection, and craftsmanship.

We travelled from Osaka to Copenhagen, launched NAU on the world stage, and curated guides that helped our community navigate the best in design. We spotlighted standout products, shared stories from behind the scenes, and brought together voices that continue to shape the future of furniture and interiors.

Join us as we revisit our favourite moments of 2025: from the excitement of 3daysofdesign to multi-brand collaborations, and everything in between.
