On Friday, November 13, 2020, UAFM held a meeting, which, despite all the misunderstandings and lack of rules of the game, brought together furniture manufacturers and designers for a friendly brunch.<\/p>\n

UAFM has previously organized several events where the designer and furniture maker had the opportunity to meet and talk, but that was not enough.<\/p>\n

That is why a new format of meetings and a new platform for communication between the furniture maker and the designer – Design Brunch with UAFM<\/strong> was created.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The events that are planned to be held in the format of brunches are united by a common goal – to create quality furniture under a single brand Furniture of Ukraine with a modern Ukrainian design. Designer brunches will be held systematically, will promote collaborations and will cover important topics that will help achieve this goal – will add value to Ukrainian furniture and make them competitive and in demand in the world.<\/p>\n

The cross-cutting theme of the first brunch design was \u201cpresentation\u201d, the speakers shared with furniture makers their experience and knowledge of how to present themselves, their product and their brand.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In order to create a relaxed atmosphere of effective communication and increase the number of useful contacts, random seating was used. The organizers deliberately violated the boundaries of comfortable choice of interlocutors, but delicious food and new interesting acquaintances very quickly set everyone up for fruitful networking and made each guest a direct participant in the event.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is no coincidence that Urban Space 500 was chosen as the site of the first Design brunch UAFM, because it is a bright example of creating a product through unification, which is what we want to achieve as a result of our meetings – to unite!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

So, Vasyl, one of the co-founders of Urban Space 500, started the event, inspiring everyone to a good start.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
