On the first day of TYPO Berlin Talent Talks will premier and gather young design talents from Europe and the US. Their exciting ideas are not born behind closed doors. They instead emerge in co-working spaces, at Hackathons, bar camps or in purely digital collaborations. They lead by example and we give them the audience and stage they deserve!
Concept & Curation
8 talented studios. 1 afternoon.
Where shall we nurture the grass roots of design in order to foster new ideas in the future? In response to this conundrum, TYPO has created a new platform, Talent Talks, as a breeding ground for innovative new ideas and design concepts.
Hailing from Antwerp, Berlin, Copenhagen, Ghent, Los Angeles, Montreal, Oslo and Rotterdam, the youngsters will each take 30 minutes to present their way of working and share their success stories.The common ground: fearlessness!
