Take a look at this year’s highlights!
Academy of Fine Arts in Warsow
The idea of the project was to create a product that could be made in a selected craftsman’s workshop. As it turned out, specialists and their workshops providing unique knowledge, skills, or traditional technology have recently been affected by the crisis. As a result, a group of seven designers and six workshops emerged: spring production, a shoemaker’s, leather craft workshop, iron foundry, metal spinning workshop, and tailor’s.
Björn Andersson Studio
Berlin-based Swedish designer and architect Björn Andersson has created a series of concept light fixtures for DMY. The designs are studies of clean geometric shapes and diffused light.

Students of »Masters of Design and Innovation« are the artists that created these projects, which are divided into the following categories: design for emergencies, design for sustainability, design for learning, design to investigate the identity, design for entrepreneurship and design for communication.
