Clerkenwell is regarded as one of the most important industry hubs. It is so because it boasts the largest in the world density per square meter of architecture studios, furniture showrooms and designer ateliers.

Next Friday, on May 17, 13th edition of Łódź Design Festival starts. Its goal and ambition is to ask questions about our life with objects and how we are using them. This year's theme - "Good life" - together with a rich programme invites reflection.

"Architects and designers usually focus on the visuals. It's time to design also for our ears" said Julian Treasure. That is why we have initiated a series of presentations and workshops concerning acoustic comfort and, more broadly, biophilic design.

In The Asia and Pacific Museum there is an exhibition of paintings by Olga Wolniak, a well known painter and our old friend. The artist paints eastern carpets and tapestry, kilims and Polish openwork.

Theatre doesn't need radical manifestos in order to stir emotions. Sometimes the biggest sensation hides in simple topics and normal situations.

How will we live, work, shop and rest in the future? New technologies lead to innovations at break-neck speed. How can we use them so that human needs are met and global problems solved? We were searching for answers to these ambitious question at the FrameLAB 2019 conference, organised by Frame magazine.
