design why?
Design Why?
Discussion platform during the
Salone del Mobile in Milan
22 - 25 April 2009
Ed Annink, intendant Design Den Haag 2010, will give a lecture about design and governance during the discussion platform Design Why?, an initiative of the Royal Academy of Art The Hague (KABK) in Milan.
Design Why?
The diversity of present society influences design, architecture and visual communication. Whether a product is successful depends on the turbulent dynamics of our consumer society. For whom do we make design? Where does design stand today and what will it look like tomorrow? How do you, as a designer, keep up with an ever changing world? Can creativity offer impulses to create new chances to the consumer market? These questions and others will get a chance to be answered in the multidisciplinary programme Design Why? during the Salone del Mobile in Milan.
The programme consists of contributions from Design Den Haag 2010-2018, the Royal Academy of Art The Hague, Premsela and Dutch DFA, together with national and international magazines like Abitare and Items. The dynamically furnished studio done by KABK students, offers room for a breakfast with the press, lectures, interviews and debates. Students, designers, producers and journalists confer with each other about the current values for designing, producing and distributing.
