In a rapidly changing world, industrial design is facing new challenges. For the 2024 Milano Design Week, ECAL presents UPS – Under Pressure Solutions, an experimental research project aimed at reducing the environmental impact of the furniture industry through the use of shape memory materials.
The exhibition shows the process and results of this exploration led by five industrial designers teaching at ECAL, as well as objects designed by Master Product Design students, revealing the innovative and creative potential of cellulose sponge.
