San Francisco Design Week (Design Bay Area)

Join us for a unique opportunity to learn and be inspired by a panel of experts in soft goods. Through their knowledge and experience of augmenting design with an element of soft into products, we will remove some of the barriers and tackle the preconceived ideas. From the importance of choosing materials, addressing sustainability, material innovation and sourcing, we will cover the full product lifecycle. The panel conversation will be followed by Q&A. We are looking forward to welcoming you at COSMO San Francisco.
