🏆🏆🏆 FURNITURE WINNER - Global Creative Graduate Showcase 2024  Congratulations to Jón Hinrik Höskuldsson @jonhinrik & Kirstine Sejersen @kirstinesejersen @bundle.designstudio graduates in Furniture Design from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts @kglakademi - winner of the Furniture category in the @artsthread Global Creative Graduate Showcase 2024   Direct 🔗 here https://lnkd.in/dnidHFk4 --- "This material-driven research for biobased composites in furniture design is a critical example of advancing sustainability, fostering innovation and meeting the evolving needs of both the market and the environment." llene Shaw NYCxDESIGN 🌟Bundle - a Biobased Chair 🌟 “Bundle is the result of material-driven research into biobased composites in furniture design. Through extensive experimentation, we developed a stackable, lightweight mono-material chair by thermo-pressing flax fibres and PLA into rigid shells. The chair weighs 2.5 kg, with about half of that weight being bio-based plastic. Our project emphasizes material-driven design guided by creativity and curiosity, using biobased composites to challenge traditional plastic furniture construction. By splitting the chair into smaller components, we maximized material efficiency and introduced a craft-like quality uncommon in plastic furniture. The incorporation of flax fibres into a PLA matrix makes the composite both biobased and biodegradable, reducing environmental impact.” Follow @artsthread and @globalcreativegraduateshowcase to see all the winners!  https://lnkd.in/d7RU-sym

🏆🏆🏆 DIGITAL ARTS WINNER - Global Creative Graduate Showcase 2024  Congratulations to Shiqing Chen graduate in Interactive Telecommunication Program MPS from NYU Tisch School of the Arts New York University - winner of the Digital Arts category in the @artsthread Global Creative Graduate Showcase 2024   Direct 🔗 here https://lnkd.in/dnidHFk4  --- "Temporary Space grants a fleeting glimpse into the structures around us - a high-dimensional lens through space and time, making the transient more tangible." Iris Qu Google Deepmind @iris_xiaoyu 🌟 Temporary Space 🌟 “The project "Temporary Space" by Shiqing Chen includes videos and installations, constituting a continuous study centered on design systems. The project explores the concept of "temporality" and whether these temporary spaces have systems independent of "permanent spaces" in the urban system as an entry point. Scaffolding, sidewalk sheds, and construction sites play seemingly secondary yet indispensable roles in urban systems. Utilizing public data from New York City's "Active Sidewalk Shed Permits" and observing a 20-year-old scaffold at 409 Edgecombe Avenue and a construction site at coordinates 40°41'18"N 73°58'56"W, the project reflects on the impact of these temporary spaces on residents' lives.” Follow @artsthread and @globalcreativegraduateshowcase to see all the winners!  https://lnkd.in/dgmXXBet

🏆🏆🏆CASUAL / STREETWEAR JOINT WINNER - Global Creative Graduate Showcase 2024 Congratulations to Yuhei Ueda graduate in Fashion Design MA from Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp - joint winner of the Casual / Streetwear category in the #artsthread Global Creative Graduate Showcase 2024 Direct 🔗 here https://lnkd.in/dnidHFk4  --- "Everyday materials are transformed into soft, voluminous shapes, capturing the essence of timeless luxury, merging fashion with the warmth of everyday comfort." Stefano Martinetto Tomorrow London 🌟 Still Life 🌟 “Espresso in Rome, whole milk in Spakenburg, fresh orange juice in Paris, I realized the real taste of ingredients I had never noticed before. This experience came back to me in daily life, and I remember each experience was valuable for me. It was a moment of luxury to realize the essence of ingredients, lost in developing products such as “instant coffee, skimmed milk and orange flavour juice. To find out what the essence of modern fashion has lost, I looked at pre-industrial garments and fabrics. I believe it would be another suggestion if I could bring the experiences that I had above through clothing. For my master collection, I made it with natural fabrics such as wool, linen, silk, and cotton. I referred to cutting techniques of workwear such as aprons, smocks, and chore coats to use materials as much as I could. I also dyed some of my works partly and translated the essence of designs from the red-striped kitchen towels. These towels show a commitment to design and material that was passed down through generations, in spite of a rapidly changing time. In my collection, I continue this commitment to deliver a feeling of quality and luxury.” Follow @artsthread and @globalcreativegraduateshowcase to see all the winners!  https://lnkd.in/dirabb4f

🏆🏆🏆 DESIGN FOR SOCIAL GOOD WINNER - Global Creative Graduate Showcase 2024 Congratulations to Liam Hayes graduate in Product Design BA from The National College of Art & Design - winner of the Design for Social Good category in the @artsthread Global Creative Graduate Showcase 2024 Direct 🔗 here https://lnkd.in/dnidHFk4  --- "Well researched kit for growing food in a closed loop farm system; creating resilience in the camps' difficult circumstances." Ingrid van der Wacht Dutch Design Foundation @ingridvanderwacht @dutchdesignweek 🌟 Kindred Crop 🌟 “Kindred Crop is a kit which enables refugees living in camps to reclaim independence over food access. The kit, when constructed, creates a closed-loop farm system, which has a reduced water consumption and mitigates harsh conditions. This kit consists of a set of instructions, and the tools and custom components required to construct the system. Such a system will allow people relying on rations to supplement these with fresh fruit and vegetables, resulting in a more nutritionally varied diet, and increased personal independence. The solution was developed in collaboration with staff from CARE International: an NGO with long-standing investment in the area, which builds refugee camps.” Follow @artsthread and @globalcreativegraduateshowcase to see all the winners!

What a story and execution. The versatility of the main design element and how it is built into a pattern for apparel and accessory is incredible." Matteo Bellentani Clark’s Originals @mattbellen @clarksoriginals 🌟 Tibetan Budding 🌟 “In 2023, on my second trip to Tibet, I knew Tenzin in Gyirong town in the southern foothills of the Himalayas, where Tibet meets Nepal. She is the first transgender Buddhist in the Himalayan Tibetan region to disclose his transgender identity and has been accepted by his family and the local social environment. Tenzin presents a sharp contradiction between individual identity and the sociocultural environment, and this is in fact a concrete manifestation of the conflict of many cultures and consciousnesses in the current society.” Follow @artsthread and @globalcreativegraduateshowcase to see all the winners! https://lnkd.in/dz5jZBQB

🏆🏆🏆 ARCHITECTURE WINNER - Global Creative Graduate Showcase 2024 Congratulations to Zhe Chen graduate in Architecture MArch from Manchester School of Architecture (MSA) - winner of the Architecture category in the #artsthread Global Creative Graduate Showcase 2024 Direct 🔗 here https://lnkd.in/dnidHFk4  --- "Clear analysis and description at different scales of a seminal problem on urban areas. Playful and clever way to communicate design creativity. Use of video and graphics shows an originality, curious and talented mind" Carlos Parraga-Botero Heatherwick studio 🌟 Housing Equity Projects🌟 "This thesis explores the complex relationship between urban density, land policies, and mental health, focusing on the injustices faced by residents in high-density living environments in Hong Kong. The study aims to propose effective strategies for reorganising Hong Kong's housing policy to address the persistent issues of housing inequality, high property prices, and socio-economic disparities through a comprehensive analysis of Hong Kong's unique land supply strategy and its impact on the housing market, aiming to propose viable solutions that do not destabilise the market. "The research employs two main strategies: immediate and long-term interventions. The immediate strategy, "Urban Nomadism," proposes the innovative use of urban car parks as temporary living spaces to alleviate the living conditions of people in illegal dwellings. This concept highlights sustainable development and resource sharing in urban settings. The long-term strategy, "Pickled Hong Kong Olympics," uses architecturally scaled interactive sculptures to raise public awareness and stimulate consensus on housing injustice, encouraging the government to take action."
