There are two ways to innovate: invent something new, or take an identity everyone already recognizes and translate it into a new language without betraying it. That's the harder path — and the one both Bentley Home and Fondazione Franco Albini are taking with Progettare Futuri Possibili. It's also the exact challenge set for the young designers reinterpreting the Galloway sofa this year: know where a design comes from before deciding what to carry forward.
