The BABC and Britweek are delighted to present the first annual San Francisco Design Series. This dynamic event features two moderated panel discussions celebrating the cross-currents between British and Californian creativity and innovation from architecture and interiors to product design, brand creation and technology.
Our first panel, focusing on architecture and interior design, features Philip Wood of CITIZEN:Citizen, Kevin Hackett of The Academy of Art, Abigail Turin of KallosTurin and moderator Adele Cygelman of MixxCentury.
Following a drinks and networking reception in the beautiful De Sousa Hughes showroom, our product design and technology panel will feature Scott Summit of Bespoke Innovations - 3D Systems, John Stoddard of IDEO, Paul Wylde of 'paulwylde' and moderator Tim Bradshaw of The Financial Times (find out more about them below).
We’ll be rounding off the evening with an exclusive after party at the Project 1 Gallery (at 251 Rhode Island Street) , kindly sponsored by McLaren San Francisco, with works exhibited by British Artists including Adam Gale and Tom Eine, as well as music from a top British DJ.

ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN PANEL
Philip Wood, CITIZEN:Citizen
Philip Wood is best known for being the curatorial and creative brains behind the international design and art brand, CITIZEN:Citizen. He is also a speaker, professor and cultural critic whose views on products, design, craft and art have led him across the world, speaking about and engaging with those who see the potential for objects as vehicles for communication.
He is passionately involved in tracking their various locations in contemporary culture, whether it be through curating, gallery inversions (where visitors bring their own objects to the gallery), museum shows and, what he calls, rogue retail practices, which are as much cultural interventions as shopping events.
Products from Wood's company, CITIZEN:Citizen, are part of the permanent collections of both the New York and San Francisco MoMA. Originally trained in the traditions of English cabinet making, Wood's business career spans furniture design, production, retailing (both interiors and fashion) and now, curation and production of conceptual design objects.

He is principal and co-founder at Síol, an integrated design practice that was conceived to nurture the multidisciplinary mindset, unfold a greater awareness of spatial phenomena and be a conduit for a deeper connection between self and place.
His recent lecture series, ‘Building Consciousness’, investigated the merging disciplines of Architecture and Psychology.
