A design project is a little like hacking through the jungle looking for Dr. Livingstone in the secret hope of discovering the\u00a0source of the Nile. A designer is a little like a Swiss Army Knife – not an expert in any given field but rather a general purpose\u00a0tool that is pretty handy in most situations. This lecture is a recounting of personal stumblings in the jungle over the last 5\u00a0years in an attempt to discover ‘How to Design’. The mistakes and unexpected events of a number of projects will be\u00a0explored to discover their valuable insights.<\/p>\n

Mark Kobine is an independent designer working in Scotland specialising in products and furniture. Studying at Edinburgh\u00a0College of Art he gained first class honours and Masters in Product Design and has exhibited in the UK and in London at the\u00a0V&A. He is particularly interested in creativity, materiality, our relationship to that material and uses a process that\u00a0emphasises immediacy and making. In 2011 he won the Design History Society essay prize for confusing Heidegger and the\u00a0TV remote control.<\/p>\n
