Great Design Lesson by Matali Crasset — From the object to the architecture: a matter of scale
9 Jan — 6 pm
AMO Hauts-de-France and lille—design were honoured to receive matali crasset, the French industrial designer, as part of a Great Design Lesson at Tripostal, in Lille!
Matali Crasset explained her vision of the designer's profession and how she sees design as a search. Bringing her fresh perspective and expert view of the world, she examines the evidence of conventions in order to overcome them more effectively. Her work involves looking for new typologies and formulating brand new life principles. She defines this search as gentle guidance towards the contemporary world.
lille—design paper no. 4
The lille—design paper magazine continues its editorial line on a theme with a 360° perspective: let's take the time to understand it better, let's stop for a moment on the "being and doing" aspects of the designer. Nearly 40 contributors have worked in this way. Designers, teachers, researchers have analysed their current practices, or those to come.

Exhibition — Past Present: industrial memory
Public opening : 10th October 2020
The exhibition looks at our region as a region of opportunities, taking into account its history and its expertise, from the contemporary point of view. 5 iconic businesses, which are part of the identity of the Hauts-de-France region, are associated with 5 designers. This has yielded new products, which take pride of place at exhibitions, as well as the production of short-format testimonial films, which are more effective at describing the object being made.
