Campina Melkfabriek

The second year of doing the show at the new location. G19 presents 61 Masters’ and 120 Bachelors’ Graduation Projects. Let’s see what will surprise us this year!

The descriptions of all projects: designacademy.nl.

(2-3) DORIAN RENARD – it looks like glass objects but its plastic!

AHN – if we can make mass production of a lot of things, why we cant do the same with our identity?

MIN YOUNG CHOI – a piece symbolising the sense of loss when big corporations leave the city that has grown to rely on them. Eindhoven needs this art on one of the squares.

CLARA LE GRELLE – indigo dyeing on the wood. That was so beautiful!

MATHILDE PHILIPPONNAT – her collections were inspired by still lifes by Jean Siméon Chardin, Jan Groover and Maurice de Vlaminck.

SATOMI MINOSHIMA – series of photos of people and bags matching their skin tones as a metaphor for the role skin colour plays in how others judge us, without even knowing us.

KODAI SHIMIZU – ‘craft-techmen’, combining the skills of the engineer, designer, and craftsman creates a wooden hairdryer.

SHAAKIRA JASSAT – her project seeks to reconsider the value of water, instead of taking it for granted. There is a tea machine that condenses water vapour from the air. It functions on its own timeframe; you just have to wait until there is enough for a cup of tea.

MICHELINE NAHRA – her pieces reflect the human need to retrace the past and preserve memories.

MONA ALCUDIA – the peacock chair is a 1970s icon in the West, but its lesser known origins can be traced to prison work in the Philippines.

PAULINE ESPARON – to see potential of flax (the natural fibre used to make linen).

HANSOL KIM – a new kind of object in the space between categories: furniture and clothing.

SEOK-HYEON YOON – using Ott as an alternative, a traditional lacquering material made from wood resin in Korea. Glazed ceramics are not recyclable and mostly end up in landfill.

AURÉLIE VARGA – a collection of splints for fingers and wrists made of delicate copper wire that look more like jewellery than medical accessories.

GIANMARIA DELLA RATTA – the industrial method of extruding pasta and translates it into the world of 3D software.

SOOWON CHAE – with a range of material samples composed of ochre and gelatine, designer not only offers an alternative for leather, but also arouses memories of early mankind’s creativity, survivability and respect for nature.

YIQIAN BAO – most household appliances generate waste heat as a by-product of their functions. He created small ‘parasites’ that convert this heat into free power that can be used to charge various devices.

PAUL COENEN – sheets of metal are laser-cut. Then the metal is bent and inserted into slots to maintain the shape. No glue, screws or welding is needed. The furniture relies entirely on the flexibility and tension of the metal, set between interlocking sheets.

MARIE DECLERFAYT – ‘Botanical bodies’ investigates the possibility to use plants for the creation of human compatible organs. Vegetal and human tissues share microscopic similarities making blending the two conceivable. The project visualises how the physical body could progressively merge with the vegetal world, for instance by replacing human bones by poplar wood.

BAIBA SOMA – white objects are quickly dumped once they lose their whiteness. To give these discarded items a second life by fashioning a shelf, rug, basket and lamp from salvaged washing machine panels, dishwasher parts, coffee machines, phone cables, earphones, computer keyboards and medicine containers.

VALERIE DAUDE – a mask analyses and visualises our physical and mental health with every breath, measures the diversity of our gut microbes.

ALEX BLONDEAU – a shelving unit and lamp is covered by a thin membrane that reveals the inner structure of work.

FLORIANE DUBREUIL – she believes that the future should not be tied to an industry of selling new products but to an industry of adjusting what exists. To counter the consumption of resources, she proposes an alternative ‘gentle production’, based on immediately recovering what has been discarded. She compiles a library of unwanted metal, plastic, wood, glass and so on. Since each season generates a different range of materials, she adapts her design templates accordingly, and not the other way around. Beautiful vases by the way!

(1-2) JASPER ZEHETGRUBER how to encourage people to donate? Build a magnet statue that takes coins out of people’s pockets. The only thing that we almost stop using coins, the statue magnet needs to improve in the way to attract paper money or bank accounts.

(3-4) YANJIN WU collection of objects with undefined blurry and fluid boundaries as a metaphor.

(1) FEDERICO ROSA – as the sea level is rising, floods in Venice are getting worse. Water enters houses and restaurants, but there is still no solid policy to save the city. These pieces of furniture may look like traditional classics, but they are the remnants of the high tide – molluscs, barnacles and seaweed – are cast into bronze ornaments for their legs, warning the world of what the future will bring.

(2) LENA WINTERINK – a way to weave and knit a copper thread into unbleached cotton, and to silkscreen it with copper ink – and still keep it wearable. Water and sweat will gradually introduce shades of green, showing the beauty of time.

(3) BART VERNOOIJ – a surfboard made with natural flax fibre and an epoxy resin that is partially bio-based.

(4) SAMANTHA VAN GARDEREN – a lamp that stimulates the production of vitamin D and supports the biological clock.

(1) LUCAS ZITO – every minute, 2.3 million cigarette butts are discarded around the world. That amounts to thousands of tonnes per day. He proposes so you get money back for each butt that you hand in. As a public intervention, he has also made a machine that calculates the amount of acetate in the filters that you collect. You can get new objects 3D printed with the recycled material.

(2) ELIN VISSER – a magazine and series of podcasts about female masturbation focus on a different aspect of this topic in every issue, featuring personal stories as well as interviews with various experts in the field of sexuality. An artist is chosen to make an artwork based on one of the stories for each edition. The first artwork is a quilt, as this is a traditional format used by women to tell their stories.

(3) CARISSA TEN TIJE – in the Netherlands one person’s household waste produces an average of 57,5 kg of bottom ash per year. Possible new uses: These include a terrazzo-like stone material and wood stain.

(1) CATERINA TIOLI – potato starch has long been used in the textile industry to stiffen spun wool, making it stronger to weave with. But spinning wool reduces its natural softness. The designer decided to rinse off, leaving the natural luxuriance of the wool intact.

(2) PAPON SIRIMAI – edible insects such as crickets are ground up for use in Western products to make them more appealing to eat. In this unrecognisable form, people are more likely to swallow the hype of insects as the ‘food of the future’ when perhaps they shouldn’t.

(3) ALOUANE SAID – inspired by the ruins of the city of Carthage, by modelling relief and textures directly from actual ruins and shaping them into tiles. Alouane’s method is based on transferring photography and modern printing techniques into ceramics.

(4) SANDRA JANSSEN – these intimate aids are made to display as interior objects. Featuring glazed ceramics and metal accents, it would be a shame to hide them away in a drawer.

(1) LÉA NATHAN – intrigued by the installation, the passer-by stops to play, steering a ball through a labyrinth. By reaching the centre of the maze, he receives the ball with a message inside, suggesting a surprising activity to do today in the city.

(2) LUIZA GUIDI TOMIO – a frame-lamp, You can switch off by closing as a door.

(3) JETSKE KORENROMP – a new ecological packaging material for flowers. Flowers are cooked, milled and pressed into a lightweight material.

Other project ideas

POLINA BAIKINA – a new type of 3D printing that uses bacteria to bind silica powder into glass products. It would allow cold production of glass, minimising CO2 emissions, while making the process less labour intensive and more cost efficient.

MAARTEN DE BRUIJNE – what if we designed plastic bottles, lighters and plastic bags so that they will wash ashore, instead of endlessly drifting around in the ocean?

DIMITRY SUZANA – For those who feel unable to carry on living should be offered an escape, believes he, who has seen a family member with ALS suffer under current legislation. Imagine someone stuck in a box. Why deny someone trapped in their body a way out? With this clear parallel, designer puts the ethical debate around end of life choice.

RIAN SMOLENAERS – integrating conductive metals like copper or silver into the fabric partly blocks electromagnetic waves. A multifunctional jacket, a sporty jumpsuit and a casual hoody are meant to counter potential damage from keeping a phone in your pocket, working with a laptop on your knees, or passing a transmission tower.
