Li Edelkoort said goodbye to the Design Academy Eindhoven. End of an era. On a night full of song, dance, laughter and tears we listened to her trend analysis on future farming (or at least the influence of farming and rural culture on our everyday life). Being the heads of the design departments, me and my colleagues met with Li in the morning, where we got a preview of her presentation. It gave us enough time to go out afterwards and find here a beautiful chicken as a farewell present.
For the Book of Friends I created a 'mothers wings' poster, in the house style (by Anthon Beeke) of the Academy, based on the typical dresses/gowns Li wears.
A remarkable woman, who will continue to influence the design world, in the coming years. One way or another. No doubt about it.
