The Material Gap

Svensk Form, The Antonia Ax:son Johnson Foundation for Sustainable Development and Bioinspired Forum invites you to

Closing the Material Gap – Behave!

Join us for a special talk on future materials during Stockholm Design Week. Our special international guests Arik Levy and Tom Dixon will together with prominent scientific researchers and fellow designers share insights and visions on the behavior of materials.

Time: 18.00 – 19.30, Tuesday February 8 Place: Stora Salongen at Berns, Berzelii Park, Stockholm

The design industry is confronted with the challenge of finding a new path for a more sustainable development. One way to achieve this is through new and more sustainable materials. But how do we want future materials to behave? The discussion is part of a long term process to bring disciplines and knowledge together. The aim is to create a platform for creative collaboration between researchers and practitioners.
