Faces of Design is launching a new interdisciplinary competition to raise the visibility of hot design talent worldwide. The competition is based on participants’ existing portfolios, and culminates in the publication of a printed volume, showcasing the 25 most promising design talents, by design discipline (e.g. graphic design). This collection of profiles will be distributed to more than 1.000 key decision makers at more than 300 companies, including firms such as vitra, IKEA, the Richemont Group (including prestigious brands such as Montblanc, Cartier and Chloé), the design press, and designers’ studios such as the Campanas’ and Bouroullecs’.

Differences and similarities in the way artists and designers work are to be investigated in this workshop at the Domaine de Boisbuchet in France. On the basis of given materials and furniture, various situations will be created within historic spaces, focusing on what it means to deal with limitations on one hand and an open process on the other.Author:Anna Rojahn
