TRAVELS: in Madrid for the C&A “reimagine design challenge”

Last week I was invited to spend 2 days in Madrid with C&A for their Reimagine Design Challenge. The challenge called for 8 young designers from 8 european countries, which have all been assigned the task of designing a piece with nothing but 200 plastic forks, knives and spoons, as well as 200 plastic cups. During those 2 days we had the chance to get to know the designers better (I totally fell in love with Miriam Lehle, the designer of Prose Studio from Germany!!) during a round of speed-dating and we also chatted away over a yummy dinner in an old theater. The creations are still top secret (until their reveal on January 24th) so I am super excited to see the results of the 8 designers later this week!!

Here are a few impressions from the trip:
