Projekto vizija -

Inovatyvi dizaino aplinka universiteto bendruomenei, verslo įmonių personalui, dizaineriams, technologams ir jauniems kūrybingiems verslininkams, kviečianti įgauti žinių apie dizainą ir dalintis jomis. Strategiškai patogi platforma, dabartiniame socialiniame-ekonominiame kontekste, kuri generuos apčiuopiamą rezultatą inovacijų srityje bei taps jungiamąja grandimi tarp ES šalių, ypač šiaurinėje ir rytinėje Europos dalyje.

Snippets from the 'Plastic in design' two-day workshop last week, where participants dug deep into plastics: both the theoretical bits from design history and the practical steps of plastic recycling into new 3D fillament.⚙️

Atendees also visited DesignLibrary Kaunas, where a new exhibition on material design is taking shape, keep an eye on the opening event soon!

In the beginning of June we celebrated Dizaino Savaitė by exhibiting four different design research projects in the newly opened KTU M-LAB research center.

❔Together with KTU Dizaino Centras I KTU Design Centre Erasmus students from Politecnico di Milano we tackled the current discussion on circular design, through examples of material experiments, waste repurposing and circular prototyping.

Biggest thanks to the D-LAB team, student volunteers and everyone who participated in the exhibition tours! 🩵

PART III: DESIGNS👀

The challenges of plastic, the challenges of buckwheat production, the challenges of colour pigments someone chose for their manufacturing back in the 80s. "Design" is not just the final visual aesthetic. It's the whole history of politics and mindsets decades before it, that determines what you see in front of you today.

PART II: MATERIALS🔵

Sustainable materials often come with labels such as "80% recycled nylon, 20% secret binding substance". We're all about the magic spells, but there's no place for mystery in the way we think truly circular material designers should operate.

In the exhibition, we will expose product prototypes made out of old, new, repurposed, both natural and synthetic materials, so we can see the full scale of things and start the discussion on circularity from there.

❕A meaningful discussion on circular design gets lost amongst arguments on plastic and paper packaging, and applause for businesses that have turned yet another type of waste into tote bags.

❔What is the common link between feet covered in rubbish and eggshell ceramics? A book about plastic furniture and a pile of plastic dusting in basements that no book ever talks about?

We invite you to the exhibition "Books, Materials, Designs, Loops", where in a new design lab you will see how "sustainable design" actually looks, smells and feels like.

Where? KTU M-Lab Laboratory Centre, Studentų str. 63A-1369, Kaunas.
When? 7th of June, 6 pm, registration required (limited number of places, registration closes on 6 June). Registration: https://forms.gle/8jKcGJhidm8F6dUf9. The language of the guided tour is English, duration ~40 mins.

Organisers: KTU Design Centre, DesignLibrary Kaunas, D-Lab.

The exhibition is partly finansed by the Lithuanian Council for Culture.
