Toys are a children’s development essential ingredient, enabling and encouraging various forms of play. Annual spending on toys in Europe is around 25 billion €. Toy design has several special demands: a toy needs to be extremely safe, it is supposed to stimulate creativity, a didactic element is appreciated, and it should allow for many different types of use. Toys’ shapes, colours, materials, and also the different ergonomics for children are an exciting challenge for designers.

A frequent problem for Slovene designers is their ware’s sales and marketing to end users. Who is actually selling Slovene designer pieces? How should a shop be designed? What is the buying process like? How to open a design shop? How to structure a shop floor and sales? What do designers expect from merchants? Which services the designers find useful? (In Slovene language)

At the Design Forum, established design companies, designers, and architects will showcase their visions, strategies, and ideas on how to respond to the challenges brought by the future through design and architecture. (In Slovene language)

The Innovation Center of Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest asked nearly 300 business leaders in Hungary, Poland and Slovakia about how they apply design methods in their company operations and their overall perception of the role of design in business. We present the key take-aways of the study as well as an exciting service design case study, which can help business leaders to understand their competitors and think about innovative ways of applying design for business growth.
