The Event

3…2…1… The horn blows and a group of designers throw back a stiff drink before plunging into work. They are producing a laser-cut object… a design that will hit the shelves in under a week. They have 4 hours to accomplish what most do in a month, but armed with liquid bravery, a bit of training and all the materials they need, they smash out a design as you party around them. At the end of the night, you decide who gets the biggest prize and the pieces are produced in front of you… on-the-spot.

At our DesignSmash events, designers can get from idea to a product within hours, just in time to join the party. We provide the music, materials, a live laser cutter, alcohol and an on-the-spot brief. We all have moments in our lives that are more energetic, productive and inspired than others. When you design for us, we help you get the most out of your time, so that the potential of an idea becomes apparent very quickly.

When we hold DesignSmash events we do so simultaneously in different places around the world. This gives us the opportunity to share our files across locations so that each group of designers gets to see the work and techniques of those in other countries.
