Many of designers are doers. Working that way they are lacking recources to bring their product to wider audiences and to guarantee sufficent quality of the product. Designers are not willing/knowing how/daring to let their original idea to go and give it to some experienced producer for proffessional production to free him/herself to generate new ideas. We are going to discuss with professionals every aspect of selling your idea profitably.

glass artist and designer,Jeanette Lennartsdotter:Jeanette works as the creative director and as a designer and artist at Sweden’s oldest glass studio, Glasets Hus. She also turns her ideas into reality in her own personal workshop in Gothenburg and in her summer studio on a farm just outside of the town of Kalmar.
In fashioning her pieces, She pays careful attention to every stage, and anything that does not work out is reused. In order to realise such a vision and ideology you have to manage processes from concept to product, says Lennartsdotter. In selling ideas to large companies the profit margin of the person behind the idea remains very modest and an overview of environmental impact is lost.www.jeanettelennartsdotter.se
