Master Lecture Series: Product Development with the Concern of Community
Master Lecture Series: Product Development with the Concern of Community
Speaker: Katarina Brieditis & Katarina Evans, Swedish Textile Artists
Ms. BRIEDITIS and Ms. EVANS are famous of re-inventing the idea of “rug” with creative handicraft techniques in new contexts, as well as utilising waste and excess from the textile industry. They had launched 2 successful experimental design and craft projects before: Do Redo and Re Rag Rug which received recognition at the Elle Decoration Sweden Design Awards 2014.
In this lecture, Ms. BRIEDITIS and Ms. EVANS will share with us their insights and experience about the product development process with the concern of social impact. Students will be inspired on using new and eco-friendly ways to source re-usable materials, exploring idea generation techniques start with an intuitive insight, and dealing with creative design challenges related to social issues, such as sustainable production and waste reduction, etc.
