Thursday April 19 at 10:00 to 11:00 – Breakfast talk: Beckmans College of Design

 Topic: Emerging Swedish Design stories – future homemakers

What makes a home? Blurred lifestyles, emerging dynamics and new mobility, have changed our relationship with the notion of a home forever. 
The next generation designers from Beckmans College of Design, have approached a sensory idea of a home, depicted as an original place with  identity and character that not only exists as brick-and-mortar but in our minds and hearts. Together we introduce an opportunity to reinterpret, redesign and evaluate, what constitutes as livable space.

Moderator: Lia Forslund
Participants: 3 designers from Beckmans,  3 designers from schools in Milan.
