On February 2, Grand Relations invited the press to a design dinner hosted by Nordic Nest, followed by a design talk moderated by Erik Rimmer, Editor in Chief, Bo Bedre. Using Verner Panton 100 as a starting point, the conversation explored what defines a design icon, why certain products endure over time and how future icons are shaped today. The evening positions design as an ongoing dialogue rather than a finished statement.
Participipating in the talk was:
Lars Boisen, Sales Director Retail, Montana
Phillipp Materna, Head of Brand & Design, Ferm Living
Lucy Price, Head of PR and Communications, &Tradition
Monique Faber, Chief Design Officer, Louis Poulsen
Michelle Bergø, Wholesale Director, FLOS
Bank Bergström, CEO, Nordic Nest
Dinner was created by Dorothea Malmgård of DoMa, who presented a three-course menu developed specifically for the evening.
