About the event
How can designers imbue objects and experiences with meaning for people? How can design create value for both businesses and society?
Roberto Verganti is Professor of Art and Innovation at the Stockholm School of Economics and is also affiliated with Harvard Business School. His research explores the relationship between design and emotions. One of the concepts that frequently recurs in Verganti's discussions of design is "love."
