The content of this issue is a testament to the remarkable diversity of creativity in the field of design — from craft-based production to digital processes; from small-scale logos and brand identities to monumental works created for public space, which may then be presented online, through temporary exhibitions, or in museum displays. These specific categories, however, require not only expertise, but also adequate care and financial support. The more we invest in the creative industries, the greater the growth in their cultural value we can expect. Beyond their social value, the richness and diversity of design can also foster a plurality of perspectives and a closer relationship to diversity itself.

In the Current section, Barbora Krejčová presents an interview with Ivana Palečková, focusing on the role of photography in her work while also offering insight into the breadth of her design portfolio. Mátyás Zagyba examines Veronika Selingerová’s ceramic reliefs for the ZWIRN complex in Bratislava and opens up the topic of the contemporary return of artworks to public space. Miloslava Hriadelová explores how digital technologies are transforming both fashion design and brand communication. Dominika Lazorová reflects on the 12th Trnava Poster Triennial, where themes such as the environmental crisis, armed conflicts, human rights, and the consequences of colonialism strongly resonated. Lucia Dubačová introduces the transmediale festival as a space for the critical reflection of technologies and their relationship to the world.

In the Museum section, Naďa Kančevová offers a reflection on the new permanent exhibition of the Slovak Design Museum, SCD dizajn.sk – History, Present, and Future of Slovak Design, while also critically addressing questions of design support and presentation. In the Retrospective section, Gabriela Ondrišáková evaluates the book series edited by Ľubomír Longauer. Inspired by the exhibition PREBÝVANIE, Wanda Borysko considers interior design as a discipline shaped by its very use. Robert Paršo reviews the publication DUŠAN JUNEK DIZAJN:FOR:UM and highlights its importance for the history of Slovak visual culture.

This issue also features two typefaces — Pareidolic and Wise Quote — by Michaela Badžgoňová, a student of the Typolab studio at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava.
