Week eight of the Virtual Design Festival starts this Monday with a collaboration with ArkDes, Sweden's national centre for architecture and design, taking visitors on a virtual 360-degree tour of the opening of its new exhibition, and much more.
We also talk about upcoming industry trends with Lixil chief design officer Paul Flowers and show new touchless and 3D-printed collections as part of our collaboration with Grohe, the VDF headline sponsor.
Designer Ilse Crawford and industrial designer Benjamin Wilson will take part in two live discussions with Dezeen editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs, presented by Braun, and Theodora Alfredsdottir and Patternity join us for our Screentime design series sponsored by Philips TV and Sound.
On Thursday, we showcase the work of 10 designers in collaboration with Milanese design platform Alcova, while the Friday brings a takeover from Austrian Fashion, which presents the work of 15 contemporary fashion and accessories designers.
Iranian-born British architect Farshid Moussavi is this week's guest on our Screentime architecture series, sponsored by Enscape.
We are now more than halfway through VDF. To catch up on what you've missed so far, check out Fairs' selection of highlights from the first half of the festival. For what's to come, see the full VDF schedule. All times are UK times and are liable to change.
