GROUPE LACASSE 8 Supporting Tomorrow’s Designers We consider that it is essential to develop partnerships with the next generation of designers. We are proud to continue, for the 23 st year, our collaboration with the School of Design of Université de Montréal. Third year students for the Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Design have the opportunity to attend the “Concours Design Groupe Lacasse” workshop. Students must develop a concept of furniture and, at the end of the semester, present it to professionals from the industry. The winner is awarded a scholarship and a paid three-month internship at Groupe Lacasse. In 2019, the theme of the competition was “Systems’’. Once again, we were impressed and motivated by the quality of the work of the next generation, which will undoubtedly ensure the renewal of the corporate culture of innovation. Community Outreach
