The following designers were on the panel:
Gwenael Nicolas
Yves Behar
Rogier van der Heide
Studio Job
These are the topics that were discussed:
Participatory Culture
What does the consumer’s growing desire and ability to design for themselves mean to the future role of the designer?
Dreamtelligence
Do we believe we live in a world in which we are more encouraged to dream, and to be creative, or do the pressures of 21st century living hinder creative expression?
Environmental Acknowledgement
As sustainable and low-cost design becomes a focus, product can deliver beauty and wonder, without costing the earth. Where does that leave luxury?
