Transatlantic Creative Exchange

Following a successful first edition in 2016, Transatlantic Creative Exchange returns to WantedDesign Brooklyn at Industry City (May 17-23, 2017) with a bold showcase of prototypes and unique pieces designed by the five selected French-American Designer + Manufacturer duos. This exhibition is accompanied by extensive multi-media documentation of the creative process. Including all phases of design, concept to completion, team interactions and exchanges and designer bios. Our participants come from various geographic regions within their countries. Through the contents of this project, audiences gain the perspective of a broader representation of both France and the US.

The goal of the Transatlantic Creative Exchanges is to push both designer and manufacturer to shift paradigms, explore technique and innovate boldly as a unified transatlantic design team. Thanks to the project’s open philosophy of freedom of expression and virtually non-existent commercial guidelines; designers, artisans, fabricators and manufacturers are all free to collaborate, exchange and interweave their personal perspectives and experience into collaborative expressions of sublime design. More
