Design Havana is a pilot program of EcoArt Project aimed at establishing collaborations with designers and design industry stakeholders in Cuba. The program is co-produced with the Cuban Artists Fund and Art For Promotion. Through this initiative, we aim to promote the potential of a “green” economy in a nation currently standing on the cusp of expanding industrialization, besides discovering new talent in Cuba and pioneering international cultural exchanges as well as technological know-how and eco-sustainable development.

This award has represented an unparalleled opportunity and experience for cultural exchange and learning of best practices in design and eco-sustainable production of furniture and interiors. Through the competitions and following ongoing development we created a platform of about 150 Cuban designers and we are now planning new collaborations and initiatives.
