The Swedish paperboard manufacturer Iggesund Paperboard is inviting designers from all over the world to participate in a unique learning experience. From those who apply, 20 will be chosen to join the Iggesund Design Experience in Sweden in late August 2012.
“We usually receive significantly more applications to our events than we can accommodate. In order to ensure a wide range of participants, we must therefore create a shortlist based on such factors as design speciality and geographic location,” explains Staffan Sjöberg, in charge of public relations at Iggesund Paperboard.
Iggesund Paperboard will be the host for four days filled with experiences of nature, insights into product knowledge and lively discussions about sustainability together with fellow designers from around the world.
The summit itself will be free of charge but participants will need to pay their own travel expenses to and from Stockholm, Sweden.
“The designers will invest their time – and in return we will give them some unforgettable days in the heart of Sweden,” Sjöberg says.
This new activity was inspired by the huge response Iggesund received from the design world for its Black Box Project, which gave well-known designers free rein to create unique solutions using Invercote as a starting material.
The Iggesund Design Experience will discuss sustainable design and material selection and will question experts in such fields as forest management, water pollution/purification, and food safety.
