PARTICIPATION BULLETIN
1.INTRODUCTION
Lago Studio is Lago’s creative soul. It is a workshop open to young talented people for
developing new forms of expression and innovative projects in communication, products,
furnishings and interior design.
Every year LagoStudio organizes various thematic
workshops where young creative designers are invited to attend from all over the world.
In our 2 week workshops we address our creative energy to develop new concepts for the new Lago
collection.
Participating to a Lago Studio workshop will allow you to join a community that collaborates 365
days a year.
2.OBJECT
The object of this call is to select 10 young talented people that are invited to have a
unique formative experience: a 10 day workshop at the Lago company where the
designers will work closely with the Company’s Creative Director and Technical Office.
After a specific briefing the workshop participants will develop design proposals for new
products in compliance with Lago’s mood and philosophy.
Following the results of the workshop the company reserves the right to develop projects that are
considered particularly interesting and should the projects eventually be produced
the company will give a financial award to the project’s designer.
