Students from the Institute of Industrial Design, FHNW Academy of Art and Design Basel displayed a collection of objects exploring hybrid design processes at Ventura Future during Milan Design Week 2019.
Participating students were Mélody Schulthess, Stephan Jäger, Meret Wacker, Géraldine Heller, Johanna Dobrusskin, Roger Zimmermann, Joel Hügli, Robin Meier, Etienne Desaulles, Eva Böhlen, Kathrin Blikisdorf, David Bühlmann, Jann Jon Fadri, Florin Stettler,Benjamin Bichsel, Samuel Lodetti, and Natalia Blanco Sierra.
Natalia Blanco Sierra showed her Mediterranean project, a series of dishes using mussel shells as the main raw material.
Robin Meier and Etienne Desaulles experimented with the vacuum press in their project, using padded wood to create a 3D surface pattern. Mélody Schulthess and Stephan Jäger collaborated on the Something Out Of Ceramic project, a series of vessels and plates made by experimenting with slip casting. Roger Zimmermann’s stool, titled Ava, is made by 3D printing directly onto felt.
Benjamin Bichsel used the leather from wild boars to create the Sanglier Bag. Wild boars are traditionally hunted for their meat in Swiss forests and their hides are discarded. The tote bag makes use of the hide’s natural appearance, emphasizing its wild origins.
Kisses were the inspiration behind Samuel Londetti’s Labbra project, which saw the designer heating the edges of IKEA glasses to bend and transform the edges, giving each its own unique surface to make the act of sipping from the glass feel more sensual.
Straw-Gold by Johanna Dobrusskin explores the craft of making straw hats. The folding hat merges a traditional crafting technique with a new approach towards the form.
