On May 27th 2009 Platform 21 presents itself during a Crosslab lunchevent at the Willem de Kooning Academy.

Design as a vehicle to dream about the future. That is Platform 21's motto, an organisation with a fresh view on design. Inspiration comes from current themes such as design as dynamic process and audience participation. One of their projects is the, now legendary, ‘Hacking Ikea', in which users can customize chairs, tables or lamps in any which way they would like.

Recently, Platform 21 published the ‘Repair Manifesto', a manifest for the next step in recycling: "Repairing is a creative challenge". Arne Hendriks, creative producer, presentest their innovative vision on the design. More information on the Crosslab website.
