Apple revives Designers of Tomorrow at Design Miami.Paris 2026
Apple is bringing back its Designers of Tomorrow exhibition for the 2026 Design Miami event in Paris, happening from October 20 to 25 at L'hôtel de Maisons. This initiative is aimed at showcasing emerging talent, with a panel of ten judges that includes Rodman Primack from AGO Projects, Apple’s design head Molly Anderson, and Nigerian designer Nifemi Marcus-Bello. Other jurors are Jennifer Roberts, Alexandra Cunningham, Fabien Capello, Hun Chung Lee, Jennifer Dunlop Fletcher, Marion Mailaender, and Minjae Kim. They’ll each put forth about four designers who have less than a decade of experience, ultimately selecting four finalists. The theme for this year is 'Design for Presence,' focusing on mindfulness in design. This follows last year's debut featuring designers like Marco Campardo and Jolie Ngo.
