To commemorate its 20th anniversary in 2020, Medinge Group had a successful presence at Dutch Design Week last October, hosted by Sandra Horlings with a massive behind-the-scenes effort from Christof Zürn and Astrid Benneker, with the theme Putting the Planet First: a New Orientation.

   The event featured presentations from Amanda Satterthwaite, Sudhir John Horo, Ava Hakim, Brigitte Stepputis, and a session with Nicholas Ind, Oriol Iglesias, Holger Schmidt, Ted Matthews, and Sudhir John Horo.
