Using waste and surplus materials such as wood and offcut textiles, the second year students have created a series of objects including a modernist dollhouse (Jade Eymann), a wagon (Antony Gallay), hand puppets for a tiny theatre for a spontaneous play with your best friends (Leonie Sammons) and a climbing ladder (Charlotte Dubois). Robin Luginbuhl has made a classic ball maze game where children guide a wooden ball around a board of blue curvilinear shapes. Cindy Sacher has made a wooden fishing game and Aramis Rudisuhli has made a small swinging chair using rope and black wood. Tiziana Rocha Da Silva has made My Tiny House, a modernist wendyhouse featuring a geometric line pattern. During the journey in Finland, students were able to visit multiple manufacturers, craftsmen, designers and cultural landmarks such as: Fiskars scissors factory, Artek main wooded furniture factory, Iittala glassblowing plant, up and coming Vaarnii founder, and several historical buildings from famous architect and designer Alvar Aalto, including his house and studio, to name only a few. The collection by ECAL students was first shown at Fiskars Biennale and can now be seen at the Artek Helsinki store until 4 Feb 2023. Image credits: Jasmine Deporta More Highlights |
