Anniversary Theme
- SPOTLIGHT
Since 2014, DesignLab has been bringing attention to world-wide societal issues and designers of change. This September, we’ll be highlighting a selection of key figures, change-making moments and flagship projects with our ‘SPOTLIGHT’ anniversary theme. For some it will be a trip down memory lane - for others, we hope it will serve as a source of inspiration for the future. Join us - it's your time to shine, too!
