Design connects us. Design mediates the physical, digital, and emotional spaces where human connection is possible. It challenges us to facilitate genuine connection, not just efficiency, but the quality of human interaction. Design isn\u2019t just what we make. It\u2019s what happens between us. Design lives in the in-between, the thresholds where ideas become experiences and strangers become communities. The International Design Day theme for 2026 (IDD2026), The Spaces in Between, invites designers to look beyond objects and outcomes and toward the shared experiences that shape how we belong, communicate, and coexist. From a poster that helps a movement find its voice, to a street sign that guides a stranger home; from a museum that sparks empathy, to a garment that celebrates identity; from a product that restores dignity, to a digital space that invites participation, design shapes how we connect.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why it matters now: We live in an age of constant communication, and increasing disconnection. Design can rebuild the spaces that bring people together, including our streets, screens, museums, clothing, objects, and cities.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This year, we\u2019re asking our community how they are designing the spaces in between, to design for connection, use creativity as common ground, and make every shared space a place where people belong. Because when design bridges the spaces between us, we build the future together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
