Technology with aesthetics
Technik verbindet Ästhetik
Some of the designers responded with gratitude and some with pride. The aim of the more than 30 talks was to encourage a conscious approach to the topic of intellectual property and design protection, in particular. Design perfectly combines technology with aesthetics, and this is exemplified by the ‘La Laura’ bag. The special diagonal opening and the name of the bag are already protected.
