What People Are Saying About DesignWorks

“It’s really invaluable to have an experience like this, to be able to talk in-depth and one-on-one with the people from Bayer MaterialScience and really understand what’s happening with the technologies and materials. It turns on some of the light bulbs upstairs to start thinking about how we can leverage these material technologies in the designs that we’re working on.”

“I liked the Sustainability By Design event. It’s really worth seeing. And there were things I’ve never seen before. I’ve been around this business for a long time and I’m always happy to see something new.”

“I thought it was very informative. I learned what material sustainability is all about, and there were a lot of interesting samples and techniques on display. Sustainability By Design definitely got me thinking about new design ideas. It was especially valuable to learn more about materials, since that’s what I work with.”

“We learned about designing with concept in mind—not only the form and function—but also the sustainability of the part. If you can put these materials back into new products, it’s a better planet. It was also great to learn about the innovative processes from Bayer MaterialScience that allow you to imprint a mold with a transparent film that protects the images.”

“There’s a lot of really interesting finishes and colors here that I haven’t seen with anybody else. There are many things that I saw in the presentations that I could put to good use with some of the products that we’re working on right now. To be able to see some of the samples in-person was great, and we learned about new products we didn’t know anything about. Pretty cool.”

“The bottom line is that sustainability is huge. The thing I was really impressed with from a design standpoint was the resins and wood. I thought that Lincoln Center project was amazing. You just don’t think of wood as being translucent and I’d never seen anything like that before.”
