lecturers was celebrating an anniversary for their life-projects. The main issue of the conference was "Avant-Guard" and its relation to mass production. Innovation in technology is obvious today, but innovative shapes, colors and materials are related to taste and social conventions. Each of the presenters touches this issue from another angle.

project is to present in front of the industry new ideas from young designers, and in her lecture she told few stories of "Cinderella" - avant-guard designs that transformed into products. Mr. Morrozi was explaining the strategy of Edra, using global array of designers and making avant-guard design that need to be manufactured by experts or masters of craft.
