Apple has launched the second edition of its Designers of Tomorrow initiative in partnership with Design Miami, opening an exhibition on October 20, 2026, at Hôtel de Maisons in Paris. Curated by Rodman Primack, the showcase presents works built around the theme of presence by emerging creators Salem S. Charabi, Isabel Rower, Yoonjeong Lee, and the studio Parafernalia, run by Genki Matsumura and Sebastián Zorrilla. [1][2]
Selected by a jury that included Apple vice president of industrial design Molly Anderson, the participants incorporated the company's hardware and software directly into their creative workflows. Charabi used a MacBook Pro for sketching and 3D modeling on a lantern made of palm fronds and limestone, while Rower documented her work and combined images and text using an iPhone and Keynote. Seoul designer Lee sketched ideas on an iPad Pro with Apple Pencil, and Parafernalia collaborated between Monterrey and Mexico City using an iPad Pro, iPhone, Procreate, and FaceTime. [1][2]
