The “souvenir” is still a romantic refuge and a memory activator. It’s function is to welcome and absorb any travellers’ experience. The Master Class explores the possible variations of the souvenir object in contemporary society and culture, expanding its meaning and role both within and outside the travel experience.

Palomarlabs invite you to reflect on the ideas, solutions and objects of the world of tomorrow through a series of thematic training workshops aimed at the new generations of designers. The workshops aim at activating comparison and dialogue, with some prominent figures from the contemporary design world who will guide participants through the design of innovative objects, meeting the challenge of the new meanings that will prevail in the post-crisis world.
