Your little light companion. 💡🫶

Buddy takes its place among the iF DESIGN AWARD 2026 winners, rethinking how light can restore presence and mindfulness in daily life.

Designed as a companion, they feature a tactile analog gesture that reintroduces play into everyday routines. Gradient illumination, informed by color psychology, supports transitions between focus, relaxation and rest. Soft, anthropomorphic forms inspired by neuro design act as friendly companions with a visually comforting and reassuring presence.

Buddy transforms a functional object into a sensory experience that invites users to slow down, recharge and reconnect with themselves.

A garden of knowledge, built for the future. ✨

The Uzbekistan Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka takes its place among the iF DESIGN AWARD 2026 winners, presenting a spatial vision of transformation and growth.

Blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary, sustainable design, the pavilion brings Uzbekistan’s cultural heritage into a modern architectural language. Natural materials such as clay, brick and regional timber root the structure in place, while its open and transparent design invites exchange, accessibility and dialogue.

Designed as a modular and reusable system, the pavilion reflects a forward-looking approach to circular construction.

An architecture that connects heritage, knowledge and what comes next.

What do “weak signals” tell us about possible futures? 🎙️✨

In this episode of FUTURE OF XYZ, we explore foresight as a practice that predicts or prepares for the future by listening closely to the “weak signals of possible futures”. Similar to trend tracking and forecasting, it explores how a provocation can blossom into possibility.

Our guest is Radha Mistry (@radha_mistry), an expert in foresight who has held senior positions at Autodesk and Steelcase, before joining the global design and engineering consultancy ARUP where she is Head of Foresight Thought Leadership.

As regular listeners will expect, we cover a ton of ground, from cities to agriculture, media to robots, wellness to global trade, climate change to zero G orbits.
