Design Indaba Goes Dutch
The 5 th Design Indaba Workshop Series has a twist of it's own - it's going Dutch! Enter Irma Boom and Joost Alferink from The Netherlands!
Irma Boom needs no introduction. As a speaker at the 6 th Design Indaba®, Irma is back in South Africa - this time focusing on reaching soon-to-be-leading designers at the workshop.
Book designer extraordinaire, Irma Boom is known for not getting any briefs for her books - almost 200 of them. "Most briefs sound so uninteresting that I get paralysed," says Irma in an interview on www.typotheque.com.
Joost Alferink is a partner at WAAC's and a graduate of the Technical University Delft. Alferink is principally a product designer whose forte is design consultancy. There's nothing special about being a product designer, as far as he's concerned, and what one does for a living is unimportant. What's important is how one feels about what one does. "Whatever it is I'm engaged in, I'm essentially addressing the question: Who am I?" Alferink seeks inspiration in irritation (like the pearl and the oyster). Emotion is his catalyst.
