ALGOMAS: Stefan Sagmeister
Recognized as one of the most influential designers of our time, Stefan Sagmeister arrives in Mexico to share a different vision of the world—one that moves away from media noise and embraces a long-term perspective. In Finally, Something Good, Sagmeister invites us to explore how design can help us rethink fundamental aspects of life—such as happiness and beauty—and to understand their real impact on our everyday lives.
Doors will open at 5:30 pm, with cocktail service available at the bar. The talk will begin promptly at 7:00 pm.
This talk will be held in English.
Stefan Sagmeister has designed for clients as diverse as the Rolling Stones, HBO, and the Guggenheim Museum. He’s a two time Grammys winner and also earned practically every important international design award.
Stefan talks about the large subjects of our lives like happiness or beauty, how they connect to design and what that actually means to our everyday lives. He spoke 5 times at the official TED, making him one of the three most frequently invited TED speakers.
His books sell in the hundreds of thousands and his exhibitions have been mounted in museums around the world. His exhibit ’The Happy Show' attracted way over half a million visitors worldwide and became the most visited graphic design show in history.
A native of Austria, he received his MFA from the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and, as a Fulbright Scholar, a master’s degree from Pratt Institute in New York.
