Craft is a verb

Heimtextil Trends 26/27

Artificial intelligence has long been part of design – precise, efficient, omnipresent. At the same time, there is a growing desire for the handmade, for intuition and irregularity. It is precisely in this area of tension that Heimtextil Trends 26/27 unfolds: under the motto  ‘Craft is a Verb’, the design platform Alcova Milano shows how high-tech and craftsmanship open up new creative perspectives together.

Among-all by Patricia Urquiola
