About the programme

In a world where creative culture is brutal, sterile interiors are churned out by mass production, and design is driven by conflicting agendas, LAANK dares to adopt a gentler, purpose-driven approach based on mutual respect. LAANK shares their core values encompassing balance, mentorship, empowerment, and design success tailored to smash limitations, build authenticity, and take risks in seeking out novel solutions to provide the change they want to see in the industry.
