What is the connection between art & science or design & technology?
Have you heard about a professional field called Industrial Design? Why it is not practiced in Ethiopia?
When you see everyday things, what comes to your mind? Technology? Or the design aspect of it?
From simple mechanical nail clippers, light switches, door locks, and tea pots, to very sophisticated devices like phones, home electronics, computers, cars, planes, do you know that there are so many amazing artists and designers behind all these amazing things?
This coming January 8 Friday evening @2:30 (8:30 PM Ethiopia Local time) and next week, I will present to you on the topics of design and tech, the contribution of design in many technological advancements and how it affects our everyday lives.
In this episode, I present to you a special guest to discuss this wonderful topic. Jomo Tariku is an industrial designer who is currently working at The World Bank as a designer. He also runs his own contemporary furniture design company called Jomo Design Furniture (JDF).
