Newness Reconfigured
Rapid refits and refurbishments are a familiar phenomenon within interior architecture – beautiful, functioning interiors are torn out by brands and institutions after only a few years to clear room for new interpretations of the space that can attract fresh engagement and interest. With the ecological costs of this approach clear, however, what could be done to mitigate this environmental impact?
Newness Reconfigured, a panel discussion hosted by String Furniture in partnership with Disegno, set out to answer these questions. Bringing together a panel of interior architects, the talk was hosted as a live event on 20 May as part of the 2026 Clerkenwell Design Week, and is now available to all as a Disegno Podcast.
The panel discussion was created to explore the potential for modularity and adaptable systems that can change and adapt with a space, allowing for renewal without the need for wholesale replacement. Curated by Disegno, the event was developed to resonate with String’s history of developing modular storage systems – from Nisse and Kajsa Strinning’s original 1949 String System, to 2024’s Center Center system, designed by Form Us With Love.
The panel was hosted at the String installation in Clerkenwell’s Old Sessions House and moderated by Johanna Agerman Ross, Disegno’s founder and the Conran Foundation Chief Curator at the Design Museum in London. The panel itself comprised interior architects Tola Ojuolape, Ab Rogers, and Lisl du Toit of Universal Design Studio, as well as String Furniture's Bo Hellberg.

The Happy Hour
What is human happiness and is it something that we can specifically design for?
Hosted in conjunction with Helsinki Design Weekly, The Happy Hour is a podcast that explores these questions in detail. Organised to coincide with Designing Happiness, the central exhibition and symposium of the 2025 edition of Helsinki Design Week, the podcast examines the way in which objects, urbanism and systems can help to support happier sciences and communities.
The conversation was recorded by Radio Helsinki; hosted by Disegno's editor-in-chief Oli Stratford; and features Anniina Koivu, curator of Designing Happiness; Jennifer De Paola, clinical psychologist and researcher on happiness at the University of Helsinki; and David Sim, urbanist and partner at Softer, as well as author of the book Soft City.
