As we take some time on our annual break to recharge, we’ve left with you with a little something to keep you wanting more—our archives of the year that was. Today we share a category we have a major soft spot for, the Best of Product Design, Arts and Events from 2022.

One of our favourite round-ups to curate, it’s also the hardest to define encompassing everything from innovative furniture, lighting, materials and accessories; collectible and independent design; tributes to design greats; to the sprinkle of art and design events, and everything in between—we’ve got you covered. Happy clicking!
