This September we’re on stage at Maison&Objet in Paris.
The Accor Design Awards turn ten. Ten years of handing young designers the thing the industry almost never gives them early: a real brief, a real client, and someone who says yes.
We know what that’s worth, because nobody handed it to us. Over twenty years ago we started with private interiors - one person, one home. Then bars and restaurants, where the emotion has to land in a single evening. Then hotels, where it has to hold for a thousand guests at once.
So at The Talks we’re not going to talk about how a hotel should look. We’ll talk about what happens after you win: who mentors you, who takes the risk on you, and how a first project becomes a career.
If you’re a student, a young designer, or the person who decides whether to hire one - come.
Friday, September 11 · Hall 5 · 1:00–1:45 PM · The Talks
