Veseli me, da je Slovenija prvič gostila podelitev prestižnih evropskih nagrad DesignEuropa Awards. Dobro oblikovanje ni le vprašanje videza. Vpliva na kakovost našega okolja, dostopnost izdelkov in storitev ter način uporabe naravnih virov. Zato imajo oblikovalke in oblikovalci pomembno vlogo pri ustvarjanju rešitev, ki so uporabne, trajnostne in odgovorne do prihodnjih generacij. Iskrene čestitke vsem finalistkam, finalistom ter nagrajenkam in nagrajencem. Naj vam ustvarjalnega poguma in dobrih idej nikoli ne zmanjka. 🔗 predsednica-slo.si/sl/objave…
