International CONFERENCE "Green-Being: WTF*?"

XVII Tallinn Design Festival international conference:
GREEN-BEING: WTF*?
___________________________________________________

The international conference "Green-Being: WTF?*" will challenge greenwashing by presenting best practices and inspiring solutions from designers and product and service developers. Does the solution lie in recycling and new environmentally friendly materials only, or is it possible to redesign production processes to lengthen the value chain of materials and products?

The keynote speakers will include John Thackara, design-thinker and writer, MoA Sergio Dávila, designer and External Linkages at Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Reet Aus PhD, fashion innovator, and TBA representative of the World Design Organisation (WDO).

Exhibition of product design award BRUNO

The BRUNO product design award is awarded every two years to an exceptional product or product series, manufactured either at the designer's own initiative, as a collaboration, or as a commission by a manufacturer/entrepreneur. Production-ready prototypes created during the past two years, or industrial products or product series already in production qualify to enter.

In order to value design and the profession of designer, the Estonian Association of Designers decided in 2006 to start giving out the Estonian Design Award. The first Design Award was given out in the eighties by Tallinn Art Institute Department of Design at the initiative of Bruno Tomberg. Among the award-winners were very experienced professionals like Matti Õunapuu, Heikki Zoova etc. The Estonian Design Award has been named after the pioneer of Estonian design, founder of design department at Art Academy – Bruno Tomberg.

The Estonian Association of Designers wishes to present innovative, high-standard new products to the public that would prompt Estonians to consume domestic design and motivate entrepreneurs to involve professional designers in product development. The recognition would encourage designers to create new interesting products and motivate them to learn about tendencies in design on the international level. For the design-knowledgeable entrepreneur participating in the competition with a designer and the public sector, product development from the aspect of design and design management would bring recognition and would be a good role model for others. In the long-term perspective, the Design Award is a springboard for new products and brands to the international arena.

DISPLAY OF DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE SCHOOLS

The display of design and architecture schools, which has become one of the integral parts of Disainiöö, has not disappeared anywhere. On the contrary, in the shade of various global crises, there is an increasing need for the light of youthful and clever design. Can students and schools work together to offer workable solutions on green issues?
