Design Beyond Stuff

Minneapolis is about to shake up design with the Walker Art Center’s first-ever Design Triennial, “Beyond Materialism,” running from October 17 to February 14, 2027. Curated by global design heavyweight Joseph Grima and former Apple creative director Asli Altay, this groundbreaking show features 50 pieces from 26 designers worldwide, challenging the notion that design equals stuff. Instead, it explores design as a force for emotional connection, spiritual reflection, and community building — all while tackling environmental and political issues through creative solutions. The exhibition redefines prosperity not by possessions, but by shared experience, offering a bold, soulful vision for the future of design.
