Design revolves around solving problems, and in an industry that thrives on breakthroughs, sustainable innovations, and modernization, one might conclude it would require a remarkably brilliant mind to be capable of such artistry.

From architecture, to the fabrication of a conceptual piece of furniture; from the markedly established, to the promising aspirers; these are the six to watch—the six we believe are likely to save the world (or at least San Francisco, for now), one design at a time.
