EDITORIAL & SPECIAL PROJECTS
FranklinTill creates content with context, identifying convergences in sociocultural movements, scientific and technological innovation and the public mindset, activating our research via a variety of platforms.
Drawing on a worldwide network of forward-thinking creators, innovators, academics and change makers, and our own ongoing research programme, we inform and influence global design discourse, enabling the most innovative sustainable ideas of tomorrow to be brought to life today.
In print, we explore colour and material innovation through industry-leading publications Viewpoint Design and Viewpoint Colour. In March 2018, we released our landmark sustainable-making manifesto Radical Matter, a visually rich compendium of the makers and materials at the vanguard of sustainable design and a blueprint for a new model of production and consumption.
We maintain a presence at key events on the international design calendar, giving talks and presentations interrogating the future of the creative industry. We curate exhibitions, host immersive events, lead workshops and design sensory public experiences, using design ingenuity to accessibly deliver complex information, always tailored to the needs of the audience.
