Care Gap – an Interactive Object
Stories from everyday caregiving, marked by shocking, sad, touching, and beautiful moments, unfold behind closed doors in reality. This object is meant to give them a stage. 30% of those training to become caregivers drop out prematurely, 40% report thinking at least monthly about leaving the profession, and half a million skilled caregivers will reach […]
Camera Housing
The ALEA project was developed as part of a Technology-based Design module, where the focus was on creating a camera housing suitable for production through plastic injection molding. The design process began with sketches and cardboard models, followed by digital visualization in Fusion 360. A prototype was 3D printed using stereolithography (SLA), and after several […]
Ceramic 3D print
This project is an exploration of the intersection between digital design and traditional craftsmanship through ceramic 3D printing. Drawing inspiration from the abstracted form of a beechnut I developed last semester, I transformed this concept into a vase design. The journey was both challenging and rewarding, especially since it was my first experience with Grasshopper, […]
Ring as a Status Symbol
It is up to us to determine the value we place on things and the appreciation we give them. This ring encourages us to shift our perspective, to explore the world with open eyes, and to uncover the beauty within it. The choice of materials is diverse: wood scraps, tree resin, and other objects are […]
Abstraction of a Beechnut
Starting this workshop was a challenge, as the process was entirely new to me. I began with a cube of plaster, aiming to mold it into a different shape. Early on, I had to figure out how the material worked, which tools to use, and whether to rely on patterns or measurements. We began by […]
Female Torso
It’s 2023, and discussions around female anatomy remain sensitive. I embraced the opportunity to engage with this topic and explore the anatomy of this area in my work. A torso was sculpted from two blocks of clay, using sketches and a model as the foundation. After the initial sketches, I added the skeleton and muscular […]
Nesting Box Model Kit
In an era of urban expansion, nature is increasingly pushed aside, leaving birds with shrinking habitats. The nesting box offers a refuge, tailored to the needs of various species like tomtits, sparrows, robins, and nuthatches. Each kit includes all necessary natural materials and instructions, allowing to assemble the box playfully like a 3D puzzle. The […]
Circular fashion campaign
The fashion industry is a major contributor to various environmental problems. These range from high water consumption, enormous CO₂ emissions to precarious working conditions, as well as pollution of water and land. Today’s fashion items are not valued; they have turned into disposable goods – a significant portion of sold clothing is never worn even […]
Stool with a Secret
What is the most valuable thing you own, and what truly gives it value? What would you choose to hide inside? Old furniture sometimes has a secret drawer known only to its owner, often hidden behind complex mechanisms. These intricate designs were created to protect something very precious. In today’s era of overproduction and endless […]
Analytic Drawing
In every object and natural formation, you can find basic shapes that reveal the underlying construction. During the second semester, we had a course dedicated to observing and analyzing these forms in detail. This course allowed us to break down complex structures into simpler components, enhancing our understanding of how they are constructed.
