Recent COVID-19 restrictions have prompted the annual Stockholm Design Week (SDW) and Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair to postpone the majority of its live programming until September, but to mark the event’s 20th anniversary, SDW is presenting its popular Design & Architecture Talks in a digital format. With speakers including architecture critic Beatrice Galilee, interior architect Åke Axelsson, the founders of design studio Front, and more, the talks and panels will address topics that range from the importance of sustainable design to the role of NFTs in the fields of architecture and interior design. stockholmdesignweek.com
Modernism Week celebrates midcentury-modern architecture, art, interiors, and landscape design in Palm Springs. The annual 11-day festival features more than 350 events, including tours of iconic homes, a classic car show, garden walks, nightly parties, and a special series of compelling talks with worldclass speakers, including the keynote presentation, “Making Architecture,” by Chicago-based architect Jeanne Gang, founder of Studio Gang. All events are open to the public. A portion of ticket proceeds benefits Modernism Week (a nonprofit organization) and other local preservation, neighborhood, and community groups. modernismweek.com
Australia’s leading international design event returns with a dynamic program that will transform the country’s second-largest city into a bustling hub for the creatively inclined. Themed “Design the World You Want,” Melbourne Design Week will offer exhibitions, talks, films, tours, and workshops, including the biennial Australian Furniture Design Award and a series of showroom activations. Extensive programming responding to the theme—and addressing issues including sustainability, technology, the circular economy, and First Nations knowledge and thinking— will be presented at a host of hubs. designweek.melbourne
