Great lighting design never disappoints. Last week, during my visit to Dutch Design Week, I was reminded of the impact lighting can have. Eindhoven, a city that always connects me to lighting for obvious reasons, did it again. Walking through the exhibition at the Kazerne, I enjoyed the beautifully programmed light ripples (see video), showcasing how lighting can create warmth, comfort, and subtle guidance. It sets the scene, shapes our emotions, and enhances our surroundings in ways we often take for granted. This reminded me why I transitioned into healthcare: to innovate not only with technology, but to enhance the human experience. It’s not only about fundamentally rethinking processes and tech (though they’re crucial), but also about creating environments where employees and patients feel safe, supported, and cared for. Lighting plays a critical, often understated, role in this transformation. Just a personal insight I like to share in regard to that human side of innovation!

Come and see us in Milan! We are very happy to announce that we will be showing our project  “Everything Exists / Future narratives & artifacts of tomorrow” at Milan Design Week 2024. Together with the fabulous  gravity GmbH The Foresight Academy we have developed a unique project that demonstrates the potential of translating foresight knowledge into actionable products and day-to-day near future objects.  It also gives a starting point for rethinking product development and business rationale. To conceive new products, we must anticipate the contours of the future.  Our aesthetic sensibilities evolve to guide our preferences, behaviors, and practice. What stands the test of time?  What seamlessly adapts to our changing needs?  Which things do we leave behind? In this pivotal epoch when our actions have planet-sized consequences, the convergence of foresight and design wields transformative potential, enabling more judicious choices by those who shape the world, based on compelling, future-informed arguments. Milan Design Week 2024, April 15–21. ALCOVA, Villa Bagatti Valsecchi, Room V8 Via Vittorio Emanuele II, 48, Varedo (IT) www.futurenarratives.net

The KURZ Trends Team investigates tendencies from a wide range of future fields and society. We cluster and use this knowledge as a brief for our surface designs we want to share and discuss with you. Every year, we set out to find what’s moving the world? What forms of expression do creatives find in response? We explore answers, exciting, inspiring, sometimes confusing, and lately driven at a racing pace by digitalization and globalization. We then filter out the ones that start at the point where ideas turn into innovative surfaces, effects, colors and products. Together with you we want to review and discuss observations, analyze and view what´s next in surfaces, colors, and effects. We will talk about and present our trend research outcomes and offer you insights into our designs. You will certainly find inspiration for your next designs!
