In September we wrote about Electrolux Design Lab 2007 competition finalists. Today one of their representatives contacted me and asked to pass further some additional information related to this competition:

Tomorrow in Paris a panel of internationally renowned experts from the environmental, design, and technology communities, are speaking at the International Forum on Design and the Environment presented by Electrolux Design Lab 2007.

Design Lab is an annual global design competition open to undergraduate and graduate industrial design students. This year they are invited to present their innovative ideas for eco-friendly and sustainable household appliances and solutions for 2020.

All four experts have a different background and will explain what they believe is key to tackle climate change:

• Matali Crasset, award-winning industrial designer:

Environmental design: looking at the bigger picture

• Céline Cousteau, international environmental activist:

Lessons from tribes in the Brazilian Amazon

• Jason Bradbury, Gadget and Consumer Technology presenter:

Green Gadgets: making eco sellable

• Henrik Otto, Head of Global Design Electrolux:

Thinking outside the box: how to work with sustainable design

The Forum will air on Design Lab TV and there will also be a blogger on site reporting live with pictures and blogposts via www.electroluxdesignlab2007.blogspot.com. You and your readers are invited to send in questions in advance to the panel via the blog.
