In INNER CHILD: Playing with Design, play, imagination and the joy of creating take centre stage. Created exclusively for Artipelag by internationally renowned trend forecaster Lidewij Edelkoort and curator Philip Fimmano, the exhibition brings together more than 200 unique design objects by over 100 designers and studios from 23 countries.

Through design, art, colour, form and unexpected encounters, the exhibition explores the playful and creative side within us. Meet both established names and emerging voices in an exhibition that invites curiosity, inspires and reminds us of the joy of creating.

The exhibition at Artipelag is created by Lidewij Edelkoort and Philip Fimmano – a duo with an international reputation for identifying emerging trends in interiors, fashion and lifestyle.

INNER CHILD – Playing with Design is more than an exhibition; it reflects a new movement in design. Edelkoort and Fimmano see a growing desire for playfulness and hope as a response to a present increasingly shaped by seriousness and uncertainty.
