Saudi Arabia’s future is being built today – including through the ideas and intuitions of a new generation of designers. In a country investing in education, culture, and creativity, this discussion will give voice to mentors and institutions of young Saudi and MENA designers who are redefining design language through multidisciplinary, sustainable approaches rooted in their cultural identity. The conversation will also resonate with the enduring legacy of SaloneSatellite, which for over twenty-five years has been a global platform nurturing young creativity and shaping the careers of generations of designers worldwide. A cross-cutting, inspirational, and deeply contemporary dialogue celebrating creative empowerment and opening new avenues of exchange between Saudi Arabia, Italy and the international design community.
