Mid- Year exhibition 2021 - the digital exhibition of the Department of Industrial Design

The traditional "in the middle" exhibition of the Department of Industrial Design is presented this year for the first time in a digital format.

Designer in the industry: During their studies, students encounter courses and projects that are mainly "industrial design". Students perform complex exercises that include product design for companies and customers - in which students identify a need and give their most appropriate solution for it.

The designer as creator: The students meet the process of creation and making of many projects both alone and working with professionals and clients. It is the joy of the students' work that leads them to new and surprising projects, from the development of the idea to the creation of the final product.

The designer as a cultural agent: In many projects, students rethink concepts known in the culture and the possibility of examining them in light of their personal perceptions and their environment. This work combines research processes, searching for sources of inspiration and reformulating the chosen field.
