What Matter_s: design studios + scientists
During 2018, 10 design studios in the Skåne region of southern Sweden were paired with 10 scientists at the cutting edge of materials research. Their brief was simple: spend six months exploring a new material, and then show us what it can do. The results of these collaborations were presented for the first time in October 2018 during Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven. In March 2019, the project was shown in an exhibition at Form/Design Center.
