The Design Team was split into 3 groups so they could cover as much ground as possible. So much was seen and learnt that day that trying to share it all would be nearly impossible, so here is a quick snapshot.
- Benjamin Hurbert in conversation with Max Fraser: Max’s passion for chair design was inspirational and understanding what drives and inspires him was thought-provoking. The talk focused on experience-driven design for both the physical and digital worlds particularly chair design. Did you know he is designing new seating for airplanes where your comfort will be controlled by an app?
