{"id":26,"count":16,"description":"The Industrial Design programme at Konstfack places great focus on design for sustainable development, which includes aspects such as circular design, global climate goals, sustainable materials and sustainable production. This year, degree projects are being exhibited that highlight this in various ways, and to some extent also question prevailing norms. With creativity, curiousness and genuine knowledge, the students shed light on current challenges and explore how their proposals can function in different contexts and situations. <br><br>\r\n\r\nAn important part of the design process concerns ideas about how and where the design proposals should be manufactured, which materials they should be made of, how they can be repaired, and how they can be reused or recycled. With consideration to nature, animals, people and places, the students make prototypes, conduct user studies, and experiment together with others. Designers can develop solutions to problems by investigating, designing and materialising proposals, but also by advancing ideas on how we can relate to our environment in different and sometimes unexpected ways. <br><br>\r\n\r\nThe degree projects in Industrial Design this year explore many different areas, which are exhibited in the form of physical artefacts during the Degree Exhibition. For the home office, furniture is displayed with visible mechanics, exposing its functions, and anyone who wants to know what day of the week the 2326 Degree Exhibition will open can consult the infinite analogue calendar. A lamp inspired by brutalism adds atmosphere to minimalist rooms; a projector is picked apart down to its smallest components and rebuilt so that it can be repaired in a more sustainable fashion. A more user-friendly solution is presented for rheumatism sufferers who have difficulties opening baby bottles; a camping stove for home use enables electricity-free cooking for increased preparedness. <br><br>\r\n\r\nThe Star Wars universe gets a new character, in the form of a robot developed through conscious design methodology; the staff at a summer camp get help organising the children\u2019s medicines through a new design solution; psychologists get more \u2013 and tactile tools to use in their conversations. Caf\u00e9s and bars no longer need to carry their outdoor seating in for the night thanks to a new, lockable furniture collection; a desk lamp that is completely 3D-printed explores new production methods; recycled iron beams get new life in furniture that doesn\u2019t have the same requirements for certification. The authentic Finnish sauna is introduced to the people of Stockholm, and exercising at home is made possible even for people who live in tight quarters. Non-human species are invited to inhabit the urban space, and design solutions are presented for people in the final stages of life. <br><br>\r\n\r\nThe end results have been refined through a conscious design process in which different ideas have been tested and sifted through various filters to reach the final design proposals. Often the degree projects has been carried out in close dialogue with both supervisors and potential partners. The prototypes and models that can be viewed in the exhibition space have been created in their entirety by the students themselves in Konstfack\u2019s workshops, under the supervision of the workshop teachers. <br><br>\r\n\r\nWe are proud to welcome you to discover the Industrial Design degree projects and meet the students who worked on them! <br><br>\r\n \r\nThe teachers in the Bachelor\u2019s Programme in Industrial Design","link":"https:\/\/konstfack2026.se\/en\/category\/bachelor\/ba-id\/","name":"Industrial Design","slug":"ba-id","taxonomy":"category","parent":7,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2026.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/26","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2026.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2026.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2026.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/7"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2026.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=26"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
