Trend forecaster Li Edelkoort and designers Sabine Marcelis, Giorgio Gascia and Gianmaria Della Ratta take part in the final live discussion for the Dezeen x Dutch Design Week 2020 collaboration. The talk is now live!
Dutch Design Week (DDW) head of program Jorn Konjin will present the sub-theme "Spaces/The Intimacy of the Workspace", which will be moderated by Dezeen founder and editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs.
The discussion will focus on how the coronavirus pandemic has made it more difficult to physically showcase projects and the impact it is having on the workspaces that designers are creating.
Trend forecaster Li Edelkoort
DDW ambassador Edelkoort will speak about her work on The New Melancholy, an exhibition created in collaboration with the Kazerne Foundation and Van Abbemuseum that combines artworks from the museum with design objects collected by Edelkoort. The New Melancholy is a reflection on the current emotional state of the world, as defined by the coronavirus pandemic as well as a general state of uncertainty.
Designer Sabine Marcelis
Rotterdam-based Marcelis, who is also a DDW ambassador, will discuss how we can translate physical and material tactility into a digital experience.
One of the designer's projects for DDW this year is Rise, which is showing at a digital gallery and lets visitors control a remote high-resolution mobile camera enabling them to visit the exhibition anytime, anywhere from any possible angle.
