NEW DEMOCRATIC WORK: A breakfast talk

hauser lacour meets Raphael Gielgen for NEW DEMOCRATIC WORK: A breakfast talk.

hauser lacour welcomes Raphael Gielgen, one of the most prominent observers and visionaries of the working and living environments of tomorrow. As a Future of Work trend scout at Vitra, he travels the world visiting companies, universities, and startups. His perspectives are shaped by radical curiosity, interdisciplinary thinking, and the ability to make patterns and trends visible at an early stage.

The event will be hosted by Laurent Lacour, professor and founder of the agency hauser lacour. Through numerous joint projects with Raphael Gielgen the two are united by a longstanding exchange at the intersection of design and futures research. Laurent Lacour’s own work and research operate precisely within this dynamic: between ethos, consciousness, architecture, and design.

In a keynote address followed by a discussion, hauser lacour will collectively open up a space for the central questions of our time: How is collaborative work transforming our organizations? What role does a democratic mindset play in the future of business? Which trends offer hope for an open, flexible society? What truly motivates people—and what strengthens their drive? What do we need to secure economic and social democracy while remaining integrated with new industries?

A breakfast that opens up spaces for thought. A conversation that lingers.

hauer lacour GmbH: In collaboration with the renowned digital agency 21TORR, we develop integrated digital and hybrid brand experiences at the intersection of strategy, design and technology.
