Caroline Naphegyi

After leading the design development platform lille-design, Caroline Naphegyi is currently Programmes Director for Lille Métropole 2020 World Design Capital. This event, whose ambition is to imagine a more creative, resource-efficient, responsible and collaborative metropolis through design, will resume in September 2020. Designers, citizens, entrepreneurs and researchers from all over the world have designed and built solutions to the challenges of our time. After having contributed from 2000 to 2006 to the design programming of Lille 2004 European Capital of Culture, then lille3000, she was entrusted by its founder David Edwards to take the direction of the Laboratoire, a multidisciplinary cultural centre located in the heart of Paris dedicated to the development of research protocols associating creators (designers, architects, artists, composers) and scientists. In 2010, she then created Tomorrowland, a company producing projects at the crossroads of disciplines, and the non profit organisation Design for change, a platform for the implementation of innovative solutions through design, serving companies and communities.
