Even if we don’t always realise, the objects surrounding us (from an armchair to a remote control and our car) are creations ofย designers; people involved withย industrial design, a field that has not yet been developedย in Greece to a level similar to that of other European countries, mainly due to the underdevelopment of the country’s secondary sector.
Yet, Greek designers not only exist but they make their presence felt abroad. Particularly over the past fewย years, there isย a tendency of producing and exporting Greek design products through the internet, social media and alternative methodsย of funding. The 5th annual meeting for Industrial Design at the Onassis Cultural Center aims to give the opportunity to these creative professionals to get together, discuss their efforts, exchange experiences and opinions and communicate with the wider public.
The event is organized with the support of the +DESIGN magazine. More info is available atย www.ntizain.org.
