Upcoming Events

  • : A Book Conversation

    27 OCTOBER · 18:30 - 19:30
    Backstory Bookshop

    An ongoing series where the conversation around a design book is the lens to reflect on our practice.

    Our coming session will explore The 99% Invisible City by Roman Mars and Kurt Kohlstedt.

    Join us to talk about how design moulds the way we experience a place, and how we redesign it in return.

    RSVP

  • Untested Thinking: Half-formed ideas exposed to new perspectives.

    19 OCTOBER · 18:00 - 20:00
    Juno House

    Designers prototype products, interfaces, services. The one thing we never prototype is the thinking: essays, theories, frameworks. Barcelona Design Week asks what happens when ideas stop being abstract and start meeting reality. This session applies prototyping to the thinking.

    RSVP

  • Mirror Cities

    Coming Soon

    On the same evening, two small groups in two cities meet around the same question. Two rooms, same questions, different answers? Let’s find out.

    If you’d like to see this in your city, reach out.

WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL

  • An intimate environment that feels at ease, encouraging sincere openness and the sharing of real experiences, challenges, and concerns. This intimacy allows us to be vulnerable, and in that vulnerability lies the opportunity of real connection.

  • Being part of Design Dialogues means showing up with intention: ready to engage, listen, and contribute without fear of judgment. It’s built on trust, and respect — not just attendance.

  • Respecting the confidentiality of the stories we share is a form of trust: no screenshots, no name-dropping, and no sharing what’s been said without context or permission.

  • The opportunity to step back from weekly deliverables and reflect on design’s broader impact. Exploring how to shape the future of design sparks inspiration for meaningful take-aways and long-term vision.

  • Sessions follow a light agenda that lets the flow of topics evolve naturally. This allows for fresh perspectives and unexpected insights to arise, making each session feel genuine, dynamic, and engaging

  • Conversations unfold naturally, and continuing beyond the session. This isn’t about networking with an agenda — it’s about authentic dialogue, exchanging meaningful ideas, and mutual growth
