Designer’s Days, founded in 2000 by a small group of professionals, aims to promote awareness of design among the general public. Over the past twelve years, thanks to the growing success of the event, the spectrum of its participants has expanded, and now includes public cultural institutions, schools, museums, publishers, distributors, manufacturers, galleries etc. Every year in June, the association brings together the members and partners of the association in providing the public with a week of events devoted to design.
Paris College of Art, in responding to this year’s Designer’s Days theme “and Tomorrow…” proposes:
This creative workshop takes the form of “inversed” round tables in which the students become the panel of “experts” presenting their projects and the experts are part of the audience. Moderated by guest professor Jean-Jacques Wunenburger, Université de Lyon, the goal of this workshop is to develop a dialog about and imagine the design school of tomorrow.
