Designboost

published Sep 9, 2007

Designboost is a completely novel concept on the Swedish design market.

It will be annual, different, international and will penetrate questions of current interest on design in a broad perspective and put them on the agenda in the society at large.

Founders of Designboost are Peer Eriksson and David Carlson together with City of Malm� and Region Sk�ne.

This year's theme is sustainable design.

Designboost will take place for the first time 17-19 October 2007.

It consists of boost meetings, boost chats and a boost happening (formerly known as ; workshops, lectures and exhibition.) This years Designboost has sustainable design as it's overall theme, an issue that is as pressing as it is difficult to pinpoint.

"It's important to look upon things from a new perspective and be given a push forward, which is exactly what the word boost means.

When it comes to sustainable design it's likely that things need to be questioned.

Since the world is constantly changing and the maps rewritten it's impossible to sit around and wait" says Peer Eriksson.
