Held from the 10-18 October 2020, Design Week began with the “Strange Night of Design”, a 24-hour event featuring 70 speakers from all over the world, including the United States, China, Korea, Latin America and Australia. Participants discussed the role of design in our societies, and the event was broadcast at the Tripostal and on social media platforms.
The Maison POCs and POC stakeholders also shared their initiatives with the public during Design Week in Lille, La Madeleine and Roubaix through free round tables, visits and workshops.
Le Tripostal, a key venue for WDC Lille, hosted more a variety of exhibits and events, including more than 40 students and young graduates from French and Belgian design schools, who presented their ideas for a world in transition on contemporary subjects such as artificial intelligence, multiculturalism, care and safety in public spaces. French sports brand Decathlon was also featured at le Tripostal, hosting a Sports Mate design exhibition.
