Studio Emergence

Design POV 2026 was many things at once; a fair, a provocation, an experience.

The theme this year was Sense and Sensibility and the studios took it seriously. Not just visually, but spatially, materially, emotionally. Walking through fully built worlds with no client brief behind them hits differently. You start asking yourself questions you hadn’t thought to ask in a while.

That’s the thing about being in a room full of people who care deeply about design, it’s quietly upskilling. Every installation, every conversation, every material choice someone made that you wouldn’t have, it all adds up.

This is why we show up to things like this. Not just to see what’s new; but to remember why we do what we do.

Some seasons of life ask you to hold two worlds together at the same time.

One filled with meetings, deadlines and decisions.
The other filled with tiny routines, bedtime stories, playtime schedules and little hands asking for you.

And somehow, you learn to show up for both. Not perfectly. Just wholeheartedly.

This Mother’s Day, we wanted to share a small part of that reality, one that so many working mothers quietly live every single day.

To every mother building a business, leading a team, managing a home and still finding space to nurture everyone around her..this one is for you. 🤍
