Speakers

Entrepreneur and, currently, Principal of her own studio, InformationArt.
Most recently, Lisa spent 3 years at Bloomberg LP, first as Global Head of

Henrik Kubel Denmark
Henrik Kubel, partner in London based Design and Typography office
A2/SW/HK + A2-TYPE, graduated from Denmark’s Design School in
Copenhagen in 1997 and received his MA in 2000 from Royal College of Art
in London, where he was also senior visiting lecturer. Recently, he’s designed

He is also a member of the AGI, Alliance Graphique Internationale. In February
2015 he was awarded the prestigious Knud V Engelhardt Award from The
Danish Museum of Art & Design.
Speakers
Dirk Vander Kooij Netherlands
Dirk Vander Kooij is a Designer and Craftsman, passionate about sustainability.
He is a new kind of Craftsman, one who embraces technology and machines,
but not in the same way that industrial producers embraced their factory lines.
He wants to design, create, improve and create again. An old 3D printer inspired
Dirk’s graduation assignment at the Design Academy in Eindhoven, where he
studied between 2005 and 2010. The main drawback the printer had was that
it couldn’t produce large objects like furniture. Dirk was the very first person
to ever succeed in printing larger objects. Using sustainable techniques he has
developed award-winning products such as the Melting Pot table, created using
his studio’s own unique waste.
Flavia Cocchi Switzerland
Born in Lausanne Switzerland, in 1962, Flavia Cocchi is a graduate of Geneva’s
School of Decorative Arts. She obtained further training, especially in Typography,
thanks to a four-year stint at Werner Jeker’s design studio. From 1989 to 1991
Flavia worked for the institutional communication agency Anatome in Paris,
collaborating on the Louvre Museum signage project and various projects on
behalf of the Ministry of Culture. She left for Italy in 1995, where she worked at
Benetton, under the artistic direction of Massimo Vignelli. From 1996 to 2004
she taught Graphic Design at the School of Applied Arts in Geneva. Flavia has
been a member of AGI, Alliance Graphique Internationale, since 2012.
