The Malmö Design Salon jumps on that opportunity with a monthly knowledge sharing event that travels between design studios with a new theme each time, and hopefully more and more familiar faces.
On April 10th, 40+ designers came together at the Jayway studio to discuss the topic of 'Natural Interfaces' at the first Malmö Design Salon.

Tony Olsson, kicked off the discussion with a presentation of projects exploring the limits of what can be used as an interface and asking us to consider 'what is natural?'. This was followed by Anders Larsson who presented where we are today and where we are going in relation to voice as an interface and posing the question of 'what is the role of personality within the realm of voice recognition?'.

Following the presentations, Dennis Overhage moderated a panel session with the two speakers and there was a lively discussion between the audience and the speakers. Discussions around the future for daily experiences and the design industry as a whole in light of the looming developments in natural interfaces continued over food and drinks. The enthusiasm for this event has resulted in the continuation of the series and the second event is currently being planned - Malmö Design Salon #2 'Integrity & Data'.
