In-person event

IED Istituto Europeo di Design is coming to Istanbul for a live event open to anyone exploring their creative path.

If you're thinking about what's next in your creative journey, this is your chance to experience how IED thinks, teaches, and challenges. Expect a hands-on workshop where ideas move, questions matter, and creativity happens in the room. 

The workshop is led by Attila Veress, industrial designer and IED Milano lecturer. Born in Transylvania, raised in the UAE, trained in Milan — his work moves across product design, creative direction and brand strategy, with clients ranging from furniture icons to marble manufacturers. He set up his own studio in 2015 and has been teaching at IED ever since. 

The session ends with an open Q&A together with the IED team: ask anything, from application processes to creative careers. And if you've been working on a portfolio, bring it along: we'd love to take a look at your work and share our perspective. 

Free admission, registration required.
