DESPRO NEWS (May 16, 2017) The grand event of the Indonesian Industrial Product Designers Alliance (ADPII) will be held again in 2017. The event, titled INDESIGNATION, is one of ADPII's annual activities that aims to showcase the potential of Indonesian industrial product design to Indonesian and international audiences. The word Indesignation is an abbreviation of the phrase Indonesia Design Nation which means Indonesia's design nation. This is a representation of ADPII's hope - as a professional forum for industrial product designers in Indonesia, so that Indonesia - for its abundance of human resources, natural resources, and cultural diversity, can make design one of the drivers of the nation's life and economic potential.
Like last year, this year's Indesignation 2017, which will also be held in the PT KAI (Kereta Api Indonesia) Warehouse, Bandung, contains discussion activities, (designer talk and seminar), design exhibition, design market, workshop, competition, and others.
To introduce the Indesignation 2017 event, ADPII and Dyandra as the Event Organizer held a socialization in Yogyakarta by inviting related parties in Yogyakarta and surrounding areas. The socialization event on Monday, May 15, 2017 was successfully held at Yogyatourium, Jl. Gedong Kuning Yogyakarta. The socialization event began with a brief presentation by the Chairman of ADPII Pusat Adhi Nugraha which was then followed by a presentation from Dyandra as the Event Organizer. On this occasion, both of them offered booths that could be rented to display the superior product design works of each participant, both in the form of prototypes and those that have been mass produced.
Participants who attended the socialization event mostly came from young people who work in the field of industrial product design in Yogyakarta. In addition to several ADPII DPD Yogyakarta administrators, the event was also attended by several lecturers and students of the UKDW Product Design Study Program. Also present were lecturers from the ISI Yogyakarta Product Design Study Program, Rahmawan D. Prasetya, S.Sn., M.Si., who is also the Secretary of ADPII DPD Yogyakarta and Andre Suryaman, a product designer who is quite existent in Yogyakarta.
