    First up, we’re turning our attention to a groundbreaking brand launch that promises to shake up the baby skincare market. Smoosh, envisioned by founders Sophie and Victoria and developed in collaboration with LULACREATES, is setting out to redefine how parents approach product efficacy through visually striking, yet health-conscious design (Design Week). Gone are the days of clinical and cartoonish branding. Instead, Smoosh embodies a softer, tactile aesthetic, employing rounded lowercase typography and an ochre-yellow accent to resonate with modern, style-conscious caregivers. With this approach, Smoosh aims to build a trustful relationship through its branding while addressing parents' growing awareness of product ingredients. Switching gears, the world of architecture is buzzing with the new expansion of the ARoS Aarhus Art Museum, featuring a stunning Skyspace installation by James Turrell (ArchDaily). This project not only enhances the cultural presence of Aarhus but also encapsu

    First up, let’s travel to Logroño, Spain, where the Concéntrico festival has officially hit the ground running. According to ArchDaily, this vibrant event is a feast for the senses, featuring 24 installations by international designers, all innovatively peppered throughout the city’s public spaces. From a circus crafted by Smiljan Radić to street sounds captured for a unique vinyl album, this festival isn’t just about architecture; it’s a celebration of urban living and community engagement through design. It’s a reminder that architecture can thrive where people gather, sparking imagination and connectivity in a playful, performative setting. Meanwhile, in the world of brand identity, Fast Company Design reports a fresh facelift for Sam’s Club. Their new lowercase logo not only modernizes the brand but also introduces a clever twist with a diamond-shaped apostrophe. This symbolizes membership and ownership, making the club distinctively relatable. The redesign aligns perfectly with th

    In other news, ZHA's Songshan Lake Exhibition and Performance Center has opened in Dongguan, China, as reported by ArchDaily in "ZHA's Songshan Lake Exhibition and Performance Center Opens in Dongguanm, China". This new cultural and sports facility is designed to be a civic and cultural anchor for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Meanwhile, Design Milk highlights IKEA's latest PS collection, which embodies "playful functionality", a concept that sounds almost paradoxical until you experience the collection's emotional logic, as explained by Anna Granath, Range Identity Manager at IKEA of Sweden, in "IKEA PS 2026 Is a Love Letter to Playful Functionality". Sustainability is also a key theme, with ArchDaily's "From Waste to Wall: Sugarcane Bagasse as Low-Carbon Building Material" showcasing the Sugarcrete acoustic and thermal panel prototype, developed by the University of East London in partnership with the Bagaceira Project. This innovative material transforms agricultur

    Dana Design Brief — Welcome to Storyflo Daily Design. I'm Dana.

    The biggest shake‑up this week comes from the world of awards, where ArchDaily reveals that the UIA World Congress in Barcelona will host a panel titled “Beyond Recognition” on June 29. Representatives from heavy‑weight juries—Aga Khan, Holcim, EUmies and others—are arguing that traditional prize structures must pivot from mere accolade to catalyst, shaping practice, policy and public discourse amid accelerating climate and social crises. It’s a bold call to turn ceremony into responsibility, and it could redraw how the industry measures success for years to come. While accolades are being re‑examined, Design Milk shows how the textile sector is already redefining itself. At Techtextil, Texprocess and Heimtextil 2026, more than 36 000 visitors witnessed an ecosystem where fibers, digital supply chains and sustainability intersect. The fair’s “working system” format means research labs, manufacturers and brand designers are no longer separated by exhibition walls but share a live‑lab fl

    Dana Design — Weekly Deep-Dive: This Week's Big Stories

    Welcome to Storyflo's Weekly Deep-Dive on This Week's Big Stories. I'm Dana. This week, design is acting like a compass—pointing us toward a future where heritage, material intelligence, and ecological stewardship intersect with bold new typographies and even lunar habitats. Across the 20 stories we’ve surveyed, three threads emerge: a resurgence of restraint‑based restoration, a surge in adaptive, tech‑driven sustainability, and a widening of the design audience from the human‑only lens to the planetary and political. Together they tell a story of a discipline that is simultaneously looking back, looking forward, and looking wider. First, the architects of the past are being called into a dialogue of subtraction rather than addition. Design Milk documents how Ome Dezin approached the 1960 Whitney R. Smith home in Hollywood Hills by “refining proportions, recovering flow, and resisting the temptation to over‑design,” preserving the original spiral staircase and sawtooth ceiling as the

    Dana Design Brief — Welcome to Storyflo Daily Design. I'm Dana.

    Today, we're celebrating the intricate connections between nature, design, and innovation. In the world of product design, Sotanaka's latest collection, Uneri, beautifully captures the essence of growth and decay. Crafted from branches collected from Tokyo's street trees and local parks, Uneri treats each piece as a singular part of a whole, echoing the cycle of life in wood and materials (Design Milk). The attention to proportion and gesture in Uneri's design reminds us of the magic of organic forms frozen in time, an ode to our natural world. In the realm of brand storytelling, Pepsi has done it again with the NYC Knicks can designs, creating a limited-edition series that perfectly encapsulates the team's spirit and New York's distinct visual language (Print Magazine). Whether you're a Knicks fan or not, these designs are undeniably cool – a testament to the city's energy and excitement. But what happens when design takes a stand against the current state of our world? Ivan Ehlers, a
