Be Original Americas at WestEdge

On October 3 at 5:30 p.m., Be Original Americas will host “Why Should You Care About Original Design?” a panel discussion moderated by Jaime Derringer, Founder and Executive Editor of Design Milk, featuring Gregg Buchbinder, CEO of Emeco (a Be Original Americas Founding Member), Irwin Miller, Design Director and Principal of Gensler, and Antoine Roset, Executive Vice President of Ligne Roset/Roset USA Corp. (a Be Original Americas Founding Member). The group will examine why we need to challenge the “knockoffs” – a nearly $1 trillion industry that has cost the world 2.5 million jobs. The issue will be addressed from ethical, economic, sustainable and humanistic points of view.
