Best of Product, People & Brands.   2023 Archive Edition

As we take a breather and recharge for the year ahead, here’s a little somethin’ somethin’ to tie you over—The Yellowtrace Class of 2023, Products, People, Brands Edition.

One of our favourite round-ups to curate, it’s also the most genre-bending, with a jam-packed list of projects encompassing (but not limited to) innovative furniture, lighting, materials and accessories; interviews with design greats, design technology and the best collectible and independent design of the day. And that’s not even half of it.

This year saw lots of reissues of iconic products, a plethora of handcrafted objects, innovative and sustainably-minded materials (think food waste as textiles, alternative fibres, knitted lights and forest debris) and even some technological breakthroughs. The archive feels limitless in its possibility—dig in!
