TYPO London 2011
TYPO Berlin has been one of Europe’s biggest and most important design events for the last 16 years. Next month, TYPO will return to its birthplace: London.
About 1,000 visitors from all around the world are expected to attend the conference, with the theme of ‘Places’. This theme will be explored with speakers and designers from the world over showcasing their work.
The collaboration between King Bansah (pictured) and German designer Julian Zimmermann promises to be a conference highlight.
Togbe Ngoryifia Céphas Kosi Bansah is King of Hohoe, Ghana. Working as a car-mechanic in Ludwigshafen, Germany, he governs his people in the African Volta Region from there. As part of his bachelor thesis, Julian created a corporate design for King Bansah. Their memorable joint presentation at TYPO Berlin last year brought many delegates to tears and garnered spontaneous standing ovations. This year’s presentation will prove to be just as exciting and life affirming.
TYPO London will take place from Thursday 20 – Saturday 22 October 2011 at the University of London.
