You may have heard it said… that truly good design is actually design you don’t notice. Clothes that just seem to fit perfectly…  the warm invitation of a beautifully lit room… or the ease of comfortable furniture… the natural flow of highly functional architecture.

But some argue that design should also contribute to a bigger conversation… one about ideas… and art... our vision of the future.

Speculation: 8 Billion Little Utopias is part of the Design Fringe program and explores this idea.
