SUMMARY:Soft Threshold: An immersive cultural encounter between East and West (an immersive multi-sensory experience )
DESCRIPTION:In an age of acceleration\, we gather to remember slower ways of being human. \nSoft Threshold is an immersive multi-sensory experience exploring the meeting of cultures through space\, sound\, scent\, objects\, and storytelling. Rather than offering a guided path\, the event invites attendees to move through a layered environment where different traditions of beauty\, ritual\, and healing come into dialogue. \nIn response to this year’s theme of Multiplicity\, the experience considers how people today live across cultural influences\, layered identities\, and changing worlds. By bringing Eastern\, Western\, and Mediterranean sensibilities into a shared sensory space\, the gathering asks how art and culture can help create new forms of belonging in an age increasingly shaped by speed\, fragmentation\, and AI. \nSoft Threshold is the public preface to World Culture Salon — a new international cultural series presented by One Culture Foundation\, designed to bring the deepest aesthetics of different civilizations into contemporary life through art\, music\, scent\, and shared experience. The series itself begins in July with Chapter I: Greece. \n\nEvent Schedule\n2:00 – 2:30 PM · Opening Remarks & Conversation Welcome\, opening reflections\, and a three-voice exchange between East\, West\, and the Mediterranean. \n2:30 – 2:50 PM · Piano Performance & Pause A musical threshold bridging Eastern and Western traditions. \n2:50 – 4:45 PM · Immersive Exhibition Open exploration of scent\, sound\, and ritual objects — a layered sensory environment to move through at your own pace. \n4:45 – 5:00 PM · Send-Off A soft closing\, with details on Chapter I: Greece in July. \n\nSpeakers & Performers\nKayci Bi · Honorary Chair\, World Culture Salon. \nThrough a rich diplomatic life and extensive cultural engagement across Asia\, North America\, the Middle East\, Africa\, and Europe\, Kayci Bi has become a long-time advocate for Greek culture on the global stage. A Founding Board Member and Cultural Advisor of One Culture Foundation\, she serves as Honorary Chair of World Culture Salon. In July\, she will host Chapter I: Greece\, an intimate gathering at the Consulate General of Greece in San Francisco. \nEvelisa Genova · Artist; Executive Director\, DrawBridge \nA Sicilian-Canadian painter\, cultural strategist\, and Harvard-trained leader\, Evelisa Genova is the Executive Director of DrawBridge\, a Bay Area nonprofit that has provided trauma-informed expressive arts programs to children in shelters and underserved communities for 35 years. Her own painting practice\, known as the Painting Oracle\, draws from Jungian dream symbolism\, surrealist allegory\, and the Mediterranean tradition\, exploring intuition\, feminine power\, and the inner landscapes that words cannot reach. Her recent curatorial work includes The Art of San Francisco at Embarcadero Center\, in partnership with BXP. \nDr. Tong Zhang · Pianist; Founder & Artistic Director\, Aetna Music & Arts Foundation \nDr. Tong Zhang is a pianist\, arts and cultural leader\, and the Founder and Artistic Director of the Aetna Music & Arts Foundation\, an organization dedicated to advancing well-being and community connection through music and the arts. Trained in China and the United States\, Dr. Zhang holds degrees in piano performance and literature from the Eastman School of Music\, Northwestern University\, and the University of Illinois Urbana–Champaign. Her work bridges Eastern and Western musical traditions\, fostering dialogue\, healing\, and cultural connection. \nXinye Lin · Artist; Founding Curator\, World Culture Salon; President\, One Culture Foundation. \nMultidisciplinary artist and curator working at the intersection of culture\, healing\, and sensory art. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design (M.Arch)\, her multi-sensory installations have been presented at the United Nations Headquarters\, Times Square\, CHSA Museum\, CICA Museum\, and other international institutions. She is the author of Artful Awakening: Multisensory Art and Meditation\, a book exploring Eastern philosophy\, contemporary art\, and sensory healing practices\, now distributed in 28 countries and held in the collections of the Clyfford Still Museum\, the RISD library\, and San Mateo County Libraries. Following her 2025 SF Design Week immersive exhibition Inside of Nebula\, Xinye founded World Culture Salon to extend her multi-sensory healing curatorial practice into the field of cross-cultural dialogue. \n\nAbout the Series\n  \nWorld Culture Salon is the flagship cultural program of One Culture Foundation — an international dialogue series that uses sensory experience as its medium. Each gathering focuses on one civilization\, bringing its most enduring aesthetics into the present moment. This evening is the public preface to the series in San Francisco. From here\, in partnership with consulates and cultural institutions across multiple countries\, World Culture Salon will unfold The Divine Feminine Travels throughout 2026 — a journey across civilizations exploring beauty and creative force\, beginning with Chapter I: Greece in July.

SUMMARY:Designing Worlds: How Products and Experiences Hold Complexity (Samsung/Amazon\, Field Paoli Architecture\, Collab Fertility\, Belmondo Studios)
DESCRIPTION:Join Belmondo Studios for a panel with leaders from Samsung\, Field Paoli Architecture\, and Collab Fertility\, plus a hands-on workshop. Explore how design navigates complexity followed by a 5:15 PM social mixer featuring a live DJ set and curated local refreshments. \nBrands today are asked to be many things at once — premium and accessible\, rigorous and playful\, consistent and constantly evolving. Most aren’t designed for that kind of pressure. \nWhat if brands weren’t identities to be protected\, but worlds to be inhabited? Systems of meaning\, behavior\, and experience that can hold multiple audiences and identities without fracturing. A fertility clinic has to be clinically authoritative and emotionally warm\, medically rigorous and deeply human\, all at once. A mixed-use development has to be a neighborhood\, a retail destination\, a public gathering place\, and an economic engine — simultaneously\, for entirely different people. A consumer electronics innovator has to ask not just “what does this product do?” but “what world does it belong to\, and how does it need to feel inside someone’s life?” \nThese questions don’t have simple answers. But the most compelling brands\, spaces\, and experiences we know have all found a way to hold the tension rather than resolve it — to design with contradiction rather than eliminating it. \nThis session brings together an architect\, a physician-founder\, and a product innovation leader — each working in a different medium\, all wrestling with the same fundamental challenge: building brands\, spaces\, and experiences that contain multitudes without losing coherence. \nWe’ll begin with a conversation across disciplines\, then move into a guided working session where participants map the productive tensions within their own organizations — and leave with a practical framework for designing with contradiction rather than eliminating it. \nFormat \n3:30pm – Part 1 — Conversation (1 hr) A moderated discussion exploring where brands fracture under competing audiences\, how different disciplines design for complexity\, and what it looks like when a brand genuinely holds multitudes rather than just claiming to. \n4:30pm – Part 2 — Working Session (30 min) Map Your Multitudes. Participants identify their key audiences\, the different modes their brand operates in\, and the tensions between them — then learn a simple framework for designing with those tensions rather than resolving them. \n5:00- Part 3 — Synthesis (15  min) Key takeaways and open discussion.\n\n5:15 – 6:30pm — Part 4 — Social Mixer with food/drink and DJ \nPanelists \nJay Baik\, Former Head of Product Innovation Team\, Samsung  \nYann Taylor\, Principal\, Field Paoli Architecture \nThalia Segal MD\, Founder and Medical Director\, Collab Fertility \nModerated by Peter Brambl and Joanna Ellis\, Founders\, Belmondo Studios \n  \n

SUMMARY:Find Your Signal: A Hands-On Creative Workshop for Designers
DESCRIPTION:A lot of designers are quietly figuring out where they fit in the new story. This workshop helps you write yours. \nElysa Fenenbock and Lynn Casey bring futures thinking\, play science\, tarot archetypes\, and other ways of knowing into a room designed for real making. Over 2.5 hours\, you’ll use your hands to get honest about where you are and what you love to build. The kind of session where you get a little glue on your fingers. Making surfaces what analysis skips: the story you’ve been carrying but haven’t found the words for yet. \nYou leave with things in your hands and a sharper signal to send to the world. \nSchedule\n3:30 pm: Snacks and schmoozing\n3:45 pm: Welcome\, settling in\, tuning inside\n4:00 pm: Sensing your story\n4:15 pm: Make to think\n5:45 pm: Inspiration and sharing\n6:15 pm: Clarifying your vision\n6:30 pm: Close \nSpeakers\nLynn Casey is a futurist and cultural decoder who helps world-leading brands find the human truth beneath data. As founder of Shine Scout\, she has keynoted from Prague to San Francisco and guided teams at Meta\, Mattel\, YouTube\, and Estée Lauder. \nElysa Fenenbock has been at Stanford’s d.school since 2009. She built Design for Play there\, and the school’s first course on Psychedelic Medicine x Design. Her work is hands-on: she co-created IDEO’s Design Thinking Toolkit for Educators (used by 80\,000+ educators)\, was Google’s Designer-in-Residence\, and is an Edmund Hillary Fellow. \nPerks All making materials provided. Light refreshments. Every participant leaves with handmade artifacts and an optional 90-day creative challenge. \n  \nRSVPs Open Soon!

SUMMARY:Event CANCELLED: CAD\, Design + AI
DESCRIPTION:***THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES*** \n****Attendees will all be notified via email from events@sfdesignweek.org and will be refunded the ticketing fee**** \nAl is rapidly changing design. In the process it’s raising deep questions about what it means to be a designer\, what it means to design\, and what roles people take in their relationship to\, and with\, Al. 3D parametric CAD is the latest area Al is transforming. As it does so\, it’s going to transform the physical world. Are we going to drown in slopjects or get the world of personalized original products we’ve been promised? It’s SF Design Week–let’s discuss! If you have made AI + CAD tools\, projects\, agents\, workflows: bring them. We’ll have show and tell. \n\nHosted by Mike Kuniavsky and Slate Werner

SUMMARY:ADRIFT. AFLOAT. DRY-DOCKED. | A curatorial tour that combines maritime heritage & boat-themed work by 3 local artists
DESCRIPTION:Set within the soaring public atrium of Building 12 at Pier 70 in San Francisco’s Dogpatch\, this exhibition pays homage to the site’s shipbuilding past while exploring the human condition through a nautical lens. Join Sarah Stangle\, the show’s curator and founder of 3RD ST CREATIVE ARTERY\, for a walkthrough of the exhibit that explores the “plurality” of the Bay Area’s artistic spirit from the vantage point of 3 local artists who have long-found inspiration in their shipyard studios. We will also be joined by DRY-DOCKED Artist Stacey Carter and Archivist of Ferlinghetti’s personal library\, Chris Buck. \nMultitudes of Vision: \nExperience a rare pairing of works—nautical-themed art by the legendary Lawrence Ferlinghetti\, who maintained a light-filled studio at Hunters Point Shipyard for almost 40 years\, with the ship-themed work of two other local artists\, Suzy Barnard from the Noonan Building and Stacey Carter from Hunters Point Shipyard. \nThe exhibit also includes two display cases of curated titles\, items\, and images from Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s personal library—culled from a collection that is vast and varied—expressly selected to reflect the boat- and ship-themed narrative of the exhibition\, as well as objects and artifacts on loan from The Port of San Francisco and The Bethlehem Shipyard Museum. \nThe Artery of Creativity: \nThere’s been a seismic shift in the location of the creative center of San Francisco. The 5.25-mile length of 3RD ST\, from head to toe\, from Market to Bayshore\, from SOMA to Dogpatch to Bayview Hunters Point\, is becoming a main channel in a branching system of art\, culture\, and creativity. Learn how the 3RD ST CREATIVE ARTERY project is highlighting and amplifying the efforts and output of artists\, makers\, movers\, and shakers who have a connection to San Francisco’s 3RD ST. \nEvent schedule: \n1 hour: Social hour.

SUMMARY:Armadillo x Figwaspe: A Meridian Tasting Experience (Sold Out)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exclusive first preview of Meridian\, Armadillo‘s forthcoming collection\, through an intimate tasting experience by culinary artist FIGWASPE. Created in partnership for SF Design Week\, the evening translates the inspiration behind the collection into flavor\, texture\, and form. \nEach bite is shaped to evoke the texture and tone of stone\, then arranged into a sculptural composition guided by the same principles of repetition and pattern that define Armadillo’s craft. \n“Design is at its most memorable when it creates an emotional response. Partnering with FIGWASPE to translate the Meridian collection into flavor and form offered an opportunity to explore craftsmanship through an entirely different lens.” \n— Amanda Mantville\, President of Armadillo \n  \n“I found myself inspired by the textural and topographical references underpinning Armadillo’s Meridian collection — sand dunes\, natural stone and organic surfaces. This food installation is an homage to the craft and consistency of natural terrain and Armadillo’s fidelity to that spirit\, with a landscape of food forms uniting to create a cohesive\, textural whole\, while remaining interactive\, tactile\, and seamlessly incorporated into the patterns of everyday life.” \n— Hanna Hurr\, Figwaspe \n  \nThis will be an experience you won’t soon forget – tickets are extremely limited and will sell out. There will be no waitlist – once all spots are reserved\, the opportunity is missed. \nTicket proceeds will be donated to the Armadillo Foundation\, extending our commitment to craft\, community and meaningful social impact beyond the objects we create. Through long-term partnerships and grassroots initiatives\, the Foundation supports education and wellbeing within our artisan communities and beyond\, including Girls Inc. San Francisco.\n\n\nAbout FIGWASPE:\nHanna Hurr is a Brooklyn-based chef and artist creating conceptual food\, garden experiences and installations. Her work explores the relationship between cuisine and the natural world\, drawing on culinary technique\, horticulture and design to create multi-sensory environments. Named after the fig wasp\, her practice reflects a deep interest in ecological systems\, transformation and the rituals of making and gathering.

SUMMARY:Bay Locality | The Future Matter: Technological innovation in architectural design and fabrication
DESCRIPTION:A conversation on how technological innovation in architectural design and fabrication creates new possibilities for architecture deeply rooted in place — examining the poetics of Bay Area locality through design\, material intelligence\, and advanced manufacturing. \nThemes to be covered:\nPoetics of Bay Locality The Bay Area’s wooden grain\, eroded coastlines\, fog\, and bay currents offer a sensory vocabulary rooted in climate\, culture\, and memory. Like tectonic strata\, these phenomena record forces\, light\, and time—creating opportunities for designs and architecture that resonate with regional character and environmental experience. \nTechnological Innovation as a Design Medium Digital fabrication using adaptive 3D-printed formwork to achieve real-time color gradients and multi-material fusions gives designers the ability to respond to place. These technologies allow form and fabrication to evolve together\, embedding local narratives and environmental sensitivities directly into the making process itself. \nEncoding Place Through Situated Making How materials carry the memory and character of a place—bay mud\, coastal fog\, wooden grain—and how advanced fabrication technologies encode these sensory phenomena directly into built form. New construction methods honor cultural heritage while transforming regional materials and environmental conditions into design intelligence. Computational design and robotic fabrication become tools for amplifying place-based identity rather than imposing universal standardization. \nSpeakers:\nModerated by Alexey Dubov — serial entrepreneur and venture capitalist at the intersection of construction technology\, robotics\, and the built environment. Co-founder of BuildTech VC and pioneering the 3D-printed housing startup Mighty Buildings. \n\nAndrei Hakhovich is principal designer and founder of Gradient Matter\, as well as co-founder of Echoes of Future Matter. Gradient Matter is a San Francisco-based multidisciplinary studio working across architecture\, public art\, interiors\, and bespoke objects. His practice brings together computational design\, fabrication\, and material research to explore new narratives\, spatial experiences\, and novel forms\, creating work that is poetic\, ecological\, and deeply sensorial.\n\n\nElena Dendiberia is principal designer of Studio AHEAD\, a San Francisco-based art and design collective co-founded with Homan Rajai. The studio’s approach is “borderless\,” with roots that are far-flung yet deeply embedded in regionality. Drawing from diasporic experience\, the studio holds that there is no universal idea of functionality that fits all cultures and people. What remains constant is an appreciation of tradition and craftsmanship.\n\nCraig Scott is founding partner of IwamotoScott Architecture\, a San Francisco-based practice known for treating fabrication\, material\, and surface as instruments of perception\, not just construction. The studio is internationally recognized\, working across art installations\, interiors\, buildings\, and speculative urban visions.\n\nJason Kelly Johnson is lead artist and co-founding partner of FUTUREFORMS\, bringing expertise in computational design and advanced digital fabrication\, produced through the lens of critical art practice and public space advocacy.\n\nNick Polansky is principal of NWP Art and Architecture\, a dual studio practice in San Francisco’s Mission District. With over 20 years of experience\, Nick cross-pollinates architecture\, art\, and urban design as one dialogue. His recent project Fjord\, a floating sauna experience in Sausalito\, ties together a fascination with repurposing and upcycling materials to transform waterfront access.\n\nEdward Mehr is co-founder and CEO of Machina Labs\, where robotics redefines traditional metal tooling with something closer to craft\, responsive\, intelligent\, and on-demand. His “Elastic Factory” vision reimagines industrial production not as fixed infrastructure\, but as a living\, adaptive system\, a factory that thinks.
