Welcome back to another edition of the Design Stories reading recommendations – this time, we’re feeling quite nostalgic thanks to our 20th anniversary! Interestingly, Design Stories​​​​​​​ is also hitting a milestone: it first came to life in 2014.

To celebrate both occasions, we combed through the archives to discover our readers’ favourite stories from recent years. Read on and see if you recall these highlights!
