In this week’s newsletter, we look at experimental projects that take us into the future of design. Interactive Smart Textiles intersect the boundaries between art, fashion and technology, Philips Design’s new exploratory Design Probe aims to reconnect our bodies with the natural environment and a new biennial exhibition at KunstForst Asperen asks the designers of today their visions of tomorrow. Last but not least, with his experimental lightweight porcelain, self-confessed porcelain alchemist Djim Berger pushes the possibilities of this ancient material to new heights.
