About
Vincent Pearce is a product designer specializing in sustainable electronics and circular design. Currently completing his MA in Design Products at the Royal College of Art, he combines mechanical engineering expertise with an insatiable curiosity about materials, always building time into his design process for the experimentation that leads to breakthrough solutions.
His work tackles a problem that drives him: products built for landfills, not for people. Vincent creates designs that prioritize both human needs and planet needs, from modular electronics that actually want to be repaired to kinetic lighting systems crafted from unconventional materials. His Ona lighting project exemplifies this approach, transforming treated seaweed and wood into an interactive experience through careful material experimentation and engineering precision.
PRINKO is a fully repairable printer, motivated by the rising global issue of e-waste, planned obsolescence, and the resulting repair movement. This project was heavily informed by ongoing participation in community repair sessions, helping bring back countless household electronics. Most printers take hours just to disassemble making repair very difficult. PRINKO comes apart in under 30 seconds.
