Materials play a central role during a four-day (10-13 June) installation where visitors are challenged to transform super sustainable substance into personal works of art. Save the date and join the kick-off at the opening party!

Invitation BNO Noord (Don’t forget your senses)
Materials Lecture
The Association of Dutch Designers (BNO) invites Material Stories to lecture on the role and importance of materials in product experience.
“Product experience is getting more important than ever. Think of buying new clothes – quality is something you can feel in a second! A big part of this product experience is defined by the materials of which these products are made. The selection of materials is therefore very important for the (desired) product experience.”
During an inspiring night, Aart van Bezooyen will lecture and demonstrate a set of sensory materials and objects. Seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling and tasting – feel very welcome to this evening for all your senses!
- Date: Wednesday, 27. May 2010
- Location: The Palace (Groningen)
- More information: Please see the invitation here (in Dutch)
