Designers of Tomorrow: Apple and Design Miami.Paris Spotlight the Next Wave of Innovation

At this year’s Design Miami.Paris, Apple and Design Miami have come together to present Designers of Tomorrow: a debut showcase that captures the spirit of what’s next in global design. The exhibition celebrates four emerging creatives who are reimagining how technology, craftsmanship, and material experimentation can coexist. Each designer approaches their work with a balance of technical precision and human emotion, revealing how digital tools can amplify, rather than replace, artistry.

Among the featured talents are London-based designer Marco Campardo, whose Jello coffee table looks like a golden slab of butter suspended in resin, exploring texture and transformation through playful form. Parisian duo Marie et Alexandre reinterpret modernist principles with modular glass boxes that combine architectural rigor and fluid color. Shanghai’s Duyi Han unveils a mirror embroidered with anatomical diagrams and AI-generated phrases, weaving together ancient symbolism and futuristic thinking. And California-based Jolie Ngo merges 3D-printed clay with Himalayan salt and ceramic elements to create glowing vessels that feel both digital and deeply organic.

Curated by Rodman Primack and Apple’s design leads Molly Anderson and Alan Dye, the exhibition positions these young creators as a reflection of where design is heading - rooted in craft, open to experimentation, and guided by a distinctly human touch. As Primack notes, it’s “not a love letter to the machine,” but a celebration of the dialogue between maker and medium.

Set within the historic Hôtel de Maisons in Paris, Designers of Tomorrow underscores how innovation and artistry can thrive side by side, and how the future of design may be more tactile, emotional, and connected than ever before. Overall, these designers display the new boundaries being pushed in all aspects of the ever-changing design world.
