If courage is the insistence on life as usual in the face of adversity, then we must salute the bravery of Ukraine's design community, who continue to create remarkable products despite difficult circumstances.

All too often, homeowners build extensions which blend into the existing house when a bold, high-contrast design can be much more effective. For the Host House in Melbourne, Splinter Society extended a traditional cottage by building a rear extension with sharp angular walls cladded in black timber.

The designers at New Craft House (Shinkogeisha) are pushing the boundaries of craftsmanship by using cutting-edge technology. For the Nosemono collection, the designers took rocks, mapped their contours with a digital scanner and then 3D-printed plastic attachments which transform the rocks into functional objects.
