Secrid Talent Podium

In addition to a podium during DDW, Secrid’s designers will receive financial support of 7,777.77 euros. The number seven symbolises the seven perspectives of Secrid’s holistic design vision. Secrid invests one percent of its revenue in inspiring, connecting and supporting the next generation of designers who help make the industry more sustainable based on this philosophy.
