Interactive workshop with Zwara designers, Abdul Basit and Stephen Amoyo.
They will engage with the participants in creative exercises and collaborative discussions focused on reimagining ordinary objects. Examining and deconstructing these items, participants will uncover unique design elements and principles that can be translated into new and practical design solutions. At the end of the workshop, participants will design and produce a small-scale model of a piece of furniture.
The workshop will be conducted in English.
