Incubation in isolation
Distinguishing New Zealand product design.
Design writer Michael Smythe will give an illustrated talk based on his book New Zealand By Design: a history of New Zealand product design.
Michael will trace the ‘essence of Kiwi’, from ingenious Maori design, through the adopting and adapting of early colonisation, to recent world-leading innovations – with isolation being the constant constraint (or is it an advantage?)
