DESIGN DAYS IN ICELAND LAST WEEKEND

Last saturday, during the Iceland DesignMarch, we arranged a very interesting gathering in collaboration with Hugmyndahúsið - "The Building for Big Ideas" and Hugmyndaráðuneytið - "The ministry of Ideas". We held a workshop and got Paul Bennet from IDEO to speak and start a discussion on how design could be the next innovative force to get Iceland´s economy back on it´s feet. Around 100 people showed up and participated in an interesting discussion about the future of design and new innovative business opportunities. It left us all with the thougt that design, or creative thinking in general, is at the moment of the utmost importance. It was a great day and we would like to thank Paul, our collaborators and specially all the people that came, for a great afternoon. 

KRADS also gave a lecture last friday where we enjoyed telling about our latest work and thougts.  All in all it has been an exciting weekend, with lots of interesting input from the design community in Iceland, and we are looking forward to participating in it again next year.
