As I write this month's edit, I'm packing my bags to join some of my colleagues at Milan Design Week, not only the world's biggest design fair, but perhaps the most influential too. With that, I'm filled with spring optimism — excited by the prospect of seeing something new, the next thing that'll capture the imagination of the world, if even just for a moment. That's the definition of the zeitgeist, is it not?
My barometer for this month is a culmination of the conversations I've been having with the team this month, but that haven't quite yet made it into our features. They're the seedlings of ideas — new shoots making a tentative appearance before, presumably, bursting up into something beautiful. Spring metaphors aside, that's to say that these are the things everyone's going to be talking about in time to come.
