About this Event

Join us for the second event of the FABE circle - if you work in the furniture, architecture or construction industry (or are interested in these topics), you are warmly invited to join us for an exchange of ideas and opportunity to meet peers.

We'll dive into the question 'What is circular design?', and are especially looking to you, the participants, to bring us ideas and examples from your own experiences. This includes for example concepts of modularity, repair, re-use, ownership models (leasing), material choice and so on.

18:15 Basic principles of circular design (a primer) and Q&A - those with experience in this area may also contribute to the Q&A session
