Us By Night 2019

“A design and creativity festival, curated for the hungry.” That's how Us By Night, a three-night long event held in Antwerp every September, describes itself.

From September 26th to 28th, designers and creatives of every stripe descend upon Antwerp's Waagnatie neighborhood to inspire and be inspired. A night market offering "honest foods and drinks" (their words) is a running feature, along with a tattoo booth, XXL screens and projectors in every direction, and "colors and movements done just right" (again, their words). Creative directors, set designers, sneaker collagists, and purveyors of positivity are but some of the speakers presenting over these three days.

And one of those speakers was Polestar's own Pär Heyden, there to talk design, communication, and challenging norms.

Milan is the centre of the design universe (again)

With machine learning exhibitions, anti-smartphone throwbacks, and a giant brutalist orange lavatory, Milan Design Week is always one of the most sought-after tickets on the cultural calendar. Designs first seen on these well-trodden streets inevitably filter down into your homes, wardrobes, and, yes, even cars. As any good creative will tell you, if you want to see what’s coming next in the world of design, you must first start in Milan. We join Nargess Banks for this year’s must-see attractions at Salone del Mobile and Fuorisalone.
