IIDEX Annouces Design Keynote - Els Zijlstra
Stronger, lighter, sustainable, inspiring and surprising, those are just a few of the qualities associated with the latest architectural materials. No one has a better grasp of the proliferating material options from around the world than Materia’s founding director, Els Zijlstra. Since 1998, Materia has been collecting, recording and analyzing information about the material needs of interior designers and architects at Materia’s Inspiration Centre in Eindhoven, Holland. In her IIDEX/NeoCon Canada Design Keynote address, Els Zijlstra will highlight the key developments that have shaped the evolution of materials and set out a vision of what is to come.
