Design CANTEEN
Design CANTEEN, a platform that serves up various flavours of design throughout the year via podcasts and discussions. Inspiring guests from the Czech Republic and abroad, designers, as well as people from other fields. Those who use design and design principles to help solve everyday challenges and societal problems. Their ideas, insights and experiences will be brought to you in the Design CANTEEN.
IT ALL STARTED ON FACEBOOK
Design CANTEEN started as a Facebook group for all those who didn’t want to lose their dose of design during the quarantine period. The hunger for good design and the desire to meet each other gave birth to a platform where creatives can share their projects, ask for the opinion of others and connect with people in their field, even those they wouldn’t meet in everyday life.
Everyone is welcome to join the community – so if you’re hungry for new connections outside of your field, or just want to keep up with the latest happenings in the design world, feel free to join!
You can also get a glimpse of what’s cooking in the Design CANTEEN kitchen on our LinkedIn and Instagram.
