It will be annual, different, international and will penetrate questions of current interest on design in a broad perspective and put them on the agenda in the society at large. Founders of Designboost are Peer Eriksson and David Carlson together with City of Malmö and Region Skåne. This year’s theme is sustainable design. Designboost will take place for the first time 17–19 October 2007. It consists of boost meetings, boost chats and a boost happening (formerly known as ; workshops, lectures and exhibition.) This years Designboost has sustainable design as it`s overall theme, an issue that is as pressing as it is difficult to pinpoint. Design in a sustainable society Seeing that design is a part of life and life is a constant process Designboost will be an annual event. The rational goal is to carry out a number of days with different items on the programme where the common denominator is design of the future and this year’s overall theme sustainable design, were sustainable is not just environmental aspect although that is a large part of the issue. The visionary goal is to inject the participants with thoughts and make them ponder, question, reflect, be worried and pleased about what design really is all about and how it should be handled and used to give people a better life in a more durable society. The truth is, there is none We don’t have the truths. The question is, does anyone? On the other hand there are plenty of questions and possibly some answers. Designboost is supposed to work as a forum where thoughts on sustainable design and durable development can be debated, exchanged and tried. Hopefully this will eventually lead to action. Among others Jennifer Leonard, Eero Koivisto, Kristina Dryza, Brent Richards and Satyendra Pakhale will participate.
