Mid Year Design Report 2022.
Our annual Mid Year Design Report is always an important moment to collectively sit down as a studio and assess the last six months. This has become even more important this year, as the start of 2022 saw us come out of two years of rolling lockdowns and reenter the world of in-person product launches, exhibitions and events.
