This year thirty–six young designers graduate from the Faculty of Design of the Arts Academy of Latvia. Their projects focus on the user of design and answer the question «Design — for whom?»
From June 5 to July 20 Design graduates’ days will take place at the Art Academy of Latvia (LMA). The programme includes an exhibition, a seminar and public presentations. In the Faculty of Design students are trained in functional design, environmental art, metal design and fashion design.
The name «Kam?» translates as «For whom?» and emphasizes a designer’s tasks and responsibility towards the user of the design. «If the design is good, trousers fit perfectly and a sofa is truly comfortable. Everything goes the right way, design makes life easier and brings joy to it. Design is present in every item we use and every process we are involved in. We are all users of design, but we are not always aware of it,» explain the young design graduates.
