The June 2025 art & design round-up boasts a practical focus, a penchant for timeless elegance, and social inclusion. The Kelsey stands out in the last category, with the launch of a comprehensive advocacy resource aimed at improving accessibility standards in affordable housing developments.

Many brands focus on maximizing the most desirable characteristics of their products through smart design, as well. The Hyperlite CrossPeak 2 Tent, for example, is ultra-lightweight and as such, excellent for long expeditions. iCreamlab has delivered an ultra-efficient ice cream-making machine, and Rivelia has debuted a one-touch automatic espresso machine for home use.

Outlandish aesthetics are also not strangers in the June 2025 art & design round-up, with Panera Bread launching its Croissant Clutch and Lab-Grown Leather x VML’s dinosaur-themed leather bag. Luxury also takes center stage with the launch of The Playbook Commons — a thoughtfully designed sports bar concept in Toronto’s Hotel X that merges upscale dining with immersive yet seamlessly integrated entertainment.
