"Uniqueness in local production"
My lecture will be about how uniqueness in local production can be achieved by looking close to the situation the designer is located in.
It can be your country, local heritage, craftsmen, workshops/factories and materials, what are the possibilities and how you can make the most of them.
I will tell about my work, my way of thinking and my experience as a designer working in a small country.
