2021 is beginning, which today we sense intuitively as a light at the end of the tunnel, the beginning of the end of one of the darkest periods in our recent history. First healthcare workers, then teachers, civil servants and researchers have played an essential role in combatting this pandemic, which burst into our lives by surprise shortly after the beginning of the year that is now coming to an end. The designers, the small design companies, modestly feel that we have also played a clearly useful social role, keeping up our work with all of our normal intensity and energy, and perhaps with even more enthusiasm, if possible. We have facilitated communication activity and quality during these difficult times. We are convinced that design and innovation contribute to maintaining hope and activity in daily life.
