SUMMARY:World Industrial Design Day FRM 2026
DESCRIPTION:The goal of World Industrial Design Day FRM is to explore the role of industrial design here and now. Can a specifically German tradition in the sense of the Werkbund\, Bauhaus\, and HfG Ulm still be effective in the present\, or does this—as often in the past—rather reflect the wishful thinking of designers? \nWhat is expected of design beyond mere styling? What role do we as designers have\, and what role do we want to play? How can we fulfill this role? What constitutes a good product today\, and what requirements must a truly sustainable product meet? \nThis event will explore these and other aspects together with experts from practice and research. \nLearn more and register: https://www.eventbrite.de/e/world-industrial-design-day-frm-2026-registrierung-1742207251789 \n
