As 2026 approaches, it’s time to take the first step toward the future and light up the opening of a new year through design.
This is a moment of farewell and welcome — a moment for gathering, anticipation, and imagination.
In the Hello 2026 Design Challenge, we invite you to create a space as the very first party of the new year, using design to express your vision and expectations for the year ahead.
It could be a New Year gathering space filled with a sense of ceremony, carrying laughter, lights, and the warmth of togetherness;
a home that symbolizes a fresh beginning, saying goodbye to the past and embracing a new rhythm of life;
or an ideal place that holds hope and plans, where wishes for 2026 slowly unfold within the space.
There are no style limitations in this challenge. Through lighting, materials, colors, and spatial composition, you are free to create your own New Year atmosphere. Whether lively and joyful, warm and relaxed, or restrained and elegant with a strong sense of ritual, you are welcome to express anticipation, energy, and new possibilities through design.
Let the space become the stage for the party, a vessel for blessings, and your first words to the future:
“Hello, 2026!”
