This Happened Utrecht #17
This Happened is een cyclus lezingen over de verhalen achter Interaction Design. Vier keer the making of van succesvol werk.

Mieke Meijer will tell us about an interesting collaboration with Peugeot, in which an unexpected material was used in a futuristic conceptcar’s interior design: old newspapers.
