About positive design news
Design is a quietly optimistic field: every project starts from the idea that something could be better. Here you’ll find new buildings, sustainable materials, thoughtful products and public spaces from studios around the world.
Most of these stories score highly, because they’re about things being made rather than broken. It’s a good page to browse when you want ideas more than news.
Over the last month, most design stories here came from Designboom, Moss and Fog and Colossal.
Hopeflo checks its sources every hour and scores each story from 0 (heavy) to 100 (uplifting) with AI. By default you see stories that score 40 or more; the spectrum at the top of the page changes that. How Hopeflo works
