Discover the works of Adorno's Future50, where emerging talents are crafting the next chapter of design history. This collection transcends traditional boundaries, bringing together creators who weave cultural narratives, push material limits, and challenge our understanding of what design can be.
In workshops and studios across the globe, these designers are redefining the language of contemporary design. From the Amsterdam atelier of Sai.E Studio, where everyday objects become portals to untold stories through unexpected material pairings, to the crystalline works of Czech designer Anna Jožová, whose glasswork captures light like frozen water, each piece speaks to both heritage and possibility. Jožová's uniquely etched vessels mirror melting glacier patterns, transforming environmental commentary into functional art.
The collection pulses with experimental energy, exemplified by Eunchong Park's gravity-defying lighting sculptures, where LED-embedded silk floats around cores of reclaimed wood. This spirit of material exploration continues in Robert L. Simon's play.room collection, where street culture's bold energy finds expression in sustainable hardwoods, most notably in the iconic Puffer Cushion that marries urban influence with environmental consciousness.
Cultural heritage beats at the heart of many works, from Ōmbia Studio's furnishings that echo Colombia's mountainous landscapes through hand-carved surfaces and traditional textile patterns, to Mina Wright's precise yet organic pieces that seem to bloom from mathematical foundations. Each designer brings their unique perspective to the intersection of function and artistry, creating pieces that transcend their utilitarian origins to become artifacts of cultural significance.
Future50 – a collection where each piece carries progress while embracing the weight of tradition. They're markers of design's evolution, each telling a story of creativity unleashed and craftsmanship refined. In bringing these pieces home, you're participating in design's unfolding future, where every object speaks to its origins and aspirations.
