“In recent years, as medical endoscopes have transitioned from reusable devices to single-use, a significant surge in waste production and greenhouse gas emissions has occurred.”

MATERIALISING NOSTALGIA

Ruby Achurch Fergus

“The research facilitates the amalgamation of traditional jewellery-making techniques with contemporary tools and ideas, reflecting a balance between heritage and innovation. The concept of “materialised nostalgia” is achieved through sound visualisation, leveraging sensory triggers such as texture and form to evoke specific memories, creating jewellery pieces that are both sustainable and deeply meaningful to consumers.”

On Repair: Examining a Repairable and Accessible Speaker Enclosure

Jeremiah Royal

“The project explored the concept of emotional durability—why we cherish some objects while discarding others. This emotional connection is critical in designing products that foster long-term relationships with users, encouraging repair and maintenance rather than disposal.”

Annabelle Sghabi

“SAFE is a range of apparel and accessories to house personal belongings and keep them secure on the body, improving a sense of ownership, well-being and cognitive dignity.”

Zoe Fajemisin

“Halo introduces a new sporting context and visual language to an existing market of EEG devices, to inspire highly functional medical products to be expressive wearable extensions.”

Scoode: A Playful Office Partitioning for Well-being

Alice Purnama Sari

“By incorporating play elements, the design encourages a sense of personal and private space within the office and helps reduce stress and mitigate burnout”
