San Francisco Design Week

More Than One Thing: Celebrating Creative Multitudes
2026-06-11 15:00 - 18:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Creativity Explored, 3245 16TH ST, San Francisco, California, 94103, United States
Celebrate the multitudes we all contain at Creativity Explored, a pioneering progressive art studio that partners with artists with developmental disabilities.
As part of San Francisco Design Week, join us for a lively happy hour and open studio mixer in our award-winning studio space, located in the heart of the Mission District.
This year’s theme, Multitudes, reflects the expansive creative worlds contained within every Creativity Explored artist and within the studio community itself. CE artists are painters, ceramicists, storytellers, designers, performers, collaborators, and visionaries—each bringing distinct perspectives, lived experiences, and modes of expression into the space. Their practices challenge conventional ideas of authorship, artistry, and communication, revealing the rich authenticity that emerges in welcoming environments.
Connect with fellow creatives, designers, and art lovers while surrounded by bold, original artwork created by Creativity Explored’s artists. Enjoy natural wine provided by our neighbors at Millay, light bites from our dear friends at the Bi-Rite Family of Businesses, and the inspiring energy of a studio that has celebrated the multitudes of artistic expression since 1983.

Brainy Bold: Design as a Model for Cognition
2026-06-11 15:00 - 18:00 | Space DanzArte, 1067 Market St. Suite 1006, San Francisco, 94103, United States
Brainy Bold is a multidisciplinary design studio and publishing project that treats design as a model for cognition-howpeople form meaning, values, identity through systems.
This event presents a curated installation of printed matter, visual grids, garments, and conceptual frameworks developed through Brainy Bold’s ongoing curriculum-based practice, including Chemical Equilibrium, Symbolic Intelligence, and Axiotic Theory. Together, these works explore how structure, repetition, and visual language shape perception and behavior.
Rather than positioning design as surface or trend, Brainy Bold approaches design as an applied cognitive system-one that can be studied, practiced, and internalized. Attendees are invited to move through the installation as a tool for reflection, alignment, and self-directed learning.
The event is part exhibition, part study space, and part quiet provocation, offering an alternative to aesthetic saturation by emphasizing clarity, restraint, and intentional structure.
A modular installation exploring systems, identity, interpretation, and learner-centered design.
Program Overview
Visitors are invited to move through a compact research environment featuring printed studies, visual artifacts, a modular investigation wall, and an interactive access point. The installation emphasizes process, reflection, and symbolic interpretation.

Living Forms: A Biomorphic Studio Crawl at Creative C.O.M.A.
2026-06-11 18:00 - 21:00 | Creative C.O.M.A., 40 Rondel Place, San Francisco, California, 94110, United States
Living Forms is a collaborative exhibition and open house at Creative C.O.M.A., presented as part of the SF Design Week Studio Crawl. Three artists explore materiality, form, and transformation through a contemporary biomorphic lens — reinterpreting organic modernism from a Bay Area perspective where fine art, ceramics, and spatial design converge.
Painting, sculptural ceramics, and immersive installation share the room with furniture and design objects selected in conversation with the work — each echoing the show’s biomorphic language of cellular, botanical, and anatomical forms. Select pieces are available for acquisition.
In dialogue with SF Design Week’s 2026 theme, Multitudes, the exhibition celebrates plurality of medium, perspective, and process — an ecosystem of works that oscillate between organism, architecture, and abstraction.
Schedule:
• 6:00 PM — Doors open. Self-guided exploration of the exhibition and space.
• 7:00 PM — Brief welcome (5 min) from founder Anthony Brown: an introduction to Creative C.O.M.A., the artists, and the work on view.
• 7:05 PM — Artists in residence at their work throughout the evening for one-on-one conversation.
• 9:00 PM — Close.

STEEP: An Immersive Tea Lounge
2026-06-11 20:30 - 23:00 | AIDA, 388 Beale Street Penthouse, San Francisco, CA, 94105, United States
As the last light fades over the bay you step into another world.
The first room breathes with immersive visuals and warm atmospheric sounds. You don’t watch it so much as inhabit it. Here you get your first effervescent pairing. The tea and cocktails waiting inside were born directly from what you just experienced: the projections, the compositions, the scent. Every drink is a translation. Time slows and you breath in the art and sound.
Then something shifts in the air.
An ephemeral scent installation threads through the space, pulling you forward — notes of smoke, osmanthus, salt air, dried citrus, something green and ancient. The fragrance is not decoration. It is the bridge to lead you forward.
The second room opens like an exhale.
Here, a bar of hand-blown glass art catches the light. The shimmer of glass art reveals itself within a floating garden of lush bites paired with new sips. Every taste is a translation. An echo of the room you came from.
Outside the windows, the Bay Bridge traces itself in light against the darkening sky.
You didn’t plan this evening. You discovered it.
What to Expect:
This event sits at the intersection of visual art, sound, scent, and craft. It highlights the multitudes of working across creative disciplines, introducing audiences to art forms they may not typically experiences as a blended narrative, while demonstrating the innovative intersection that challenges perception and expectations.
There will be immersive art designed to make scent visually tangible, effervescent, rhythmic and delicious. Something you steep into throughout the night, imbibing scents and bubbly in alcoholic and non alcoholic elixirs from glassware shaped to entice the sense and accentuate flavor profiles. Lush light bites will be served from a floating garden overlooking incredible views of the bay. Be prepared to steep into a lush and evocative evening of art, beverages and light bites.
Art & Collaborations by: Alexandra Ierace, Eli Joteva, Tiffany Liu, Kazuki Takizawa and more to come
Doors open at dusk. Location & entry instructions shared with ticket holders 24 hours before event. Capacity is strictly limited.

AI as Your Design Partner (Not Your Replacement)
2026-06-12 13:00 - 15:30 | Shipt, 535 Mission Street, 12th Floor, San Francisco, CA, 94105, United States
AI is rapidly changing how we design, but it’s not here to replace creativity, it’s here to expand it. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore how generative AI can augment, accelerate, and amplify the design thinking process while keeping human insight at the center. Participants will work in small groups to apply AI across key phases of design thinking including ideation, synthesis, and concept development. Through guided exercises, we’ll show how AI can help generate ideas, surface patterns, and push thinking further, while also highlighting its limitations and the importance of human judgment. This session is designed to be interactive, accessible, and practical. No deep technical experience required. Whether you’re a designer, product manager, or just AI-curious, you’ll leave with new ways to integrate AI into your creative process and a clearer understanding of how to work with it, not against it.

Erica Tanov: Celebrating a Life in Design
2026-06-12 17:00 - 18:00 | Erica Tanov Atelier, 1808 Fifth Street, Berkeley, California, 94710, United States
Interiors, Nature, and the Art of Collaboration: Join designer Erica Tanov for a lively conversation and illustrated presentation, moderated by acclaimed design writer DIANE DORRANS SAEKS. Together, they will explore the art of creative collaboration for home design — the sources of inspiration, the working relationships, the materials, and the process of building a fully original aesthetic world. Inspired by nature.
For thirty-five years, Erica Tanov has been one of the most quietly inspiring presences in American design — a designer of rare grace, originality, and style whose work across fashion, textiles, and interiors is guided by an unerring instinct for natural beauty. Her clothing and home collections are defined by luxurious fabrics, meticulous craft, and a sensibility entirely her own: restrained, considered, and deeply expressive. Her historic, light-filled Berkeley studio — itself a masterclass in the art of living beautifully — showcases wallpaper, architectural tiles, furniture, bedding, and fabric collections alongside carefully chosen vintage finds. Tanov is now expanding her practice to include interior design consultation and projects.
The evening will unfold in Erica’s beautiful studio, surrounded by her designs, collections, and the objects she loves. Guests will enjoy an illustrated presentation of Erica Tanov interiors — bedrooms, wallpapers in situ, textiles, and artist collaborations — followed by an intimate moderated conversation with Erica Tanov.
Topics will include what natural interior style truly means; fabric and textile collaborations with artists; wallpaper and architectural tile design; bedding collections; antique collecting; and the role of art and artists in shaping an interior point of view.
The evening is moderated by Diane Dorrans Saeks, bestselling author of twenty-six design books including the celebrated Parisian by Design (a bestseller in Paris) and the classic Jean-Louis Deniot Interiors (both Rizzoli). Diane is the longtime Design Editor at PaperCity and a founding editor of C California Style magazine. She is currently at work on new books.
About Erica Tanov: A California native, Erica established her design trajectory at Parsons School of Design before launching her eponymous label in New York in 1990, where her early seamed slips and camisoles helped redefine modern loungewear and quickly gained placement at Barneys, Bergdorf Goodman, and Henri Bendel. Her brand evolved organically into a broader lifestyle offering spanning clothing and home, grounded in a philosophy of relaxed luxury shaped by a deep reverence for nature. Returning to the Bay Area in 1994, she opened her first Berkeley store and went on to cultivate a loyal, design-forward community across New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, becoming a defining voice in California’s understated luxury movement. Alongside her commercial work, she has remained deeply engaged with the arts, serving on the board of Creative Growth Art Center, speaking at major design events, and authoring Design By Nature, with her work widely featured in leading publications and worn by figures including Tilda Swinton, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Vera Farmiga, and Sarah Jessica Parker.
Wine and refreshments will be served.

Studio Crawl Night 2 - Friday, June 12th
2026-06-12 18:00 - 21:00 | California

Evening Reception - PLUME by Kristin Victoria Barron
2026-06-12 18:00 - 21:00 | The Future Perfect San Francisco, 3085 Sacramento Street, San Francisco, California, 94115, United States
Plume, a recent body of work from Kristin Victoria Barron, will be showcased during San Francisco Design Week this June, offering a compelling exploration of the artist’s ongoing engagement with the archetypal language of the subconscious. Through the practice of keeping a dream journal and tirelessly working to materialize the elusive subjects of sleep, Barron locates her work in the tension of articulating the inexpressible, as though sculpting smoke. “I am asleep and living in a house on the indeterminate but ubiquitous waterline of dreams. I cannot tell you the name of the body of water or if it’s a body at all…” she writes, capturing both her process and the ambiguity it demands.
This body of work extends her Jungian research beyond representation. Each piece is carefully patinated, offering a textural imprint that feels like a fragment of another reality. The sculptures move beyond zoological iconography, suggesting forms that have traversed dreamscapes, as though released from a distant and unknowable terrain and marked by their passage through shifting worlds.
Incorporating functional lighting, the works in Plume evoke illumination untethered from waking life. The light appears not as a mechanical source, but as something more ethereal, as if each piece operates as a threshold through which luminosity travels between dimensions, carrying the atmosphere of the artist’s inner world into physical space.

Dynamic Minds, Brilliant Inspiration: An Exceptional Studio Afternoon of Architecture, Ideas, and Inspiration with Kuth/Ranieri and Anne Fougeron, FAIA with Diane Dorrans Saeks
2026-06-20 13:00 - 17:00 | Kuth/Ranieri Architects, 725 Greenwich Street, San Francisco, 94113, United States
The Afternoon
This is a rare afternoon — an immersive encounter with three of San Francisco’s most distinguished architects, in an exceptional studio. From 1:00 pm, participants gather at the North Beach studio of Kuth/Ranieri Architects for an exclusive illustrated presentation of the firm’s international body of work, followed by an in-depth guided tour of the studio: models, drawings, materials, current projects, and the full arc of a remarkable thirty-five-year practice.
Mid-afternoon, award-winning architect Anne Fougeron, FAIA, will deliver a vivid illustrated presentation of her career — her built work, her award-winning residences, her theoretical projects, and the dramatically original unbuilt works that have shaped her thinking.
The day closes with a convivial reception: bites, sips. There’s time to discuss ideas and inspirations from the afternoon, explore career paths, and speak directly with Anne Fougeron, who has taught architectural design to graduate and undergraduate students at the University of California, Berkeley, where she served as a lecturer and visiting professor.

The Host Studios
Kuth/Ranieri Architects
Kuth/Ranieri Architects was co-founded by Elizabeth Ranieri, FAIA, and Byron Kuth, FAIA, in San Francisco in 1990. With studios in San Francisco and the Boston area, the firm has earned a national reputation for works of architecture that integrate environmental stewardship, craft, and contemporary design thinking across a remarkable breadth of scale and program — from meticulously considered private residences to major civic and public infrastructure.
The firm’s portfolio spans single-family homes, community buildings, public park pavilions, and international airport terminals. Kuth/Ranieri’s landmark projects include Harvey Milk Terminal 1 at San Francisco International Airport — developed in distinguished collaboration with Gensler and a consortium of leading firms, and recipient of the 2023 Summit Award from the IIDA Northern California Chapter — as well as significant contributions to Chase Center, the Golden State Warriors’ arena in Mission Bay. The firm co-founded the Deep Green Design Alliance, a cross-disciplinary collaborative focused on design solutions that address the environmental challenges shaping our global future.
Kuth/Ranieri Architects is a San Francisco certified woman-owned business enterprise. Their sustained commitment to sustainability, community, and architectural intelligence has made them one of the Bay Area’s most admired and enduring practices — one whose work speaks with equal authority across the intimate scale of a private home and the civic scale of a great public building.

“In a world obsessed with an international cast of ego-driven starchitects, San Francisco architects Elizabeth Ranieri, FAIA, and Byron Kuth, FAIA, are the thoughtful, versatile, low-key, detail-obsessed exceptions.”
— Diane Dorrans Saeks · Opening epigraph, Kuth/Ranieri Architects monograph, Princeton Architectural Press
“We seek to enrich the human experience by crafting engaging spaces that are timeless and of our time.”
— Kuth/Ranieri Architects

Guest Architect
Anne Fougeron, FAIA · Fougeron Architecture
Anne Fougeron, FAIA, is the founder and principal of Fougeron Architecture, one of San Francisco’s most consistently celebrated and intellectually rigorous design practices. Raised in France and the United States, she attended Wellesley College and completed her graduate studies in architecture at the University of California, Berkeley — where she has since returned to teach, serving as a lecturer and visiting professor. She is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, a distinction awarded to fewer than three percent of registered architects in the United States.
Since founding her practice in 1986, Fougeron has built a body of work that is at once formally rigorous and deeply humane. Her projects span private residences of exceptional distinction — among them the Fall House in Big Sur, the Suspension House, and the Wavelet House, both recipients of the American Architecture Award from the Chicago Athenaeum and multiple international prizes — alongside civic, cultural, multi-family, and healthcare buildings. The firm has received more than fifty design awards and been published in more than two hundred international publications. Princeton Architectural Press describes her approach as one that “embraces architectural opportunities found in opposition, creating buildings that redefine program, reinvent historical building types, and reinvigorate civic centers.”
Central to Fougeron’s practice is the conviction that architecture is a social art — that beautiful, rigorous design should be accessible to all, and that buildings can carry genuine ethical and civic weight. Her published monographs include Fougeron Architecture: Opposition/Composition (Princeton Architectural Press) and Framing Light (2024).

“While I am a tried-and-true Northern Californian, my work often brings me to Los Angeles and the neighboring areas. And as an architect, I can’t help but notice what’s around me. Modern architecture is often painted as elitist — as if efficient design can’t also be good design. Buildings can be useful while still being beautiful.”
— Anne Fougeron, FAIA · Fougeron Architecture, San Francisco
