Design Line rings in 2023 with Lesley Lokko on the New Years Honours list, cave painting code cracking, and a Playstation 5 controller for limited mobility.

Es Devlin builds a giant ring light in the desert, the Unicode Consortium launches the goose emoji, and Minecraft bans NFTs in this week’s Design Line.

This week's the Design Line includes a new director for the Cooper Hewitt, a redesign of Sketch’s Instagram-famous pink room, and MVRDV breaking its silence over the Marble Arch Mound.

The Crit welcomes new years’ both Gregorian and Lunar with dicussions around the values and vices of NFTs, and the covid-induced design fair calendar summer crunch.

The Design Line marks the passing of Ricardo Bofill and André Leon Talley, and passes comment on floating tennis courts and design fair drama.

The Design Line is back, because chairs have been on television, NFTS have invaded a Fijian island, and doctors have genetically engineered a pig’s heart to make it fit for a man.
