The prototypes presented by OPOS at this second edition of the design event are the result of a selection process among approximately 300 projects submitted by designers under the age of 35, with the sole requirement being industrial reproducibility.

A section of the exhibition brought together the pieces shown last year that have since gone into production.

The goal of the exhibition was not to identify a specific trend in design, but rather to offer a snapshot of proposals by young designers, in the hope that this opportunity would facilitate contact with manufacturers.
