Description
Hochhauser Auditorium, Sackler Centre for arts education
- Building a future economy through design: the Fogo Island model
- Handmade modern: the dynamics of outport furniture
- Driving a thriving design industry in an unlikely setting: establishing a self-reliant collection of local design hubs
- Replicating the Fogo Island residency programme: how can design invigorate your community?
Businesswoman Zita Cobb has used cutting-edge architecture and design to revitalise the economy of her native community, the remote Fogo Island in Newfoundland. The furniture collection of the Fogo Island Inn (a community-owned social business) resulted from a dynamic collaboration between local makers and international designers. Cobb, co-founder of the Inn and its parent organisation Shorefast Foundation, will discuss how design acted as a servant of people and place to mould a collection derived from the intellectual property of a centuries-old fishing community.
