Third-year BA students have been invited by architects Spacon & X, in collaboration with IKEA, to design a shelter for an event in Helsingborg, Sweden. The shelter is part of the Tillsammans ("All Together") camp. The goal was to design a micro-architecture that addresses current concerns, fosters social interaction, and provides a unique living experience.
Studio project, Collaboration (2022) with Adrien Rovero
The selected project 'Hanging Shelter' by Alex Nguyen & Gabriel Hafner offers both community life and privacy, depending on the circumstances and needs. During the day, with the parasol in the upright position, the shelter becomes a meeting point where people can gather and socialize. When needed, the parasol can be lowered to create a cozy, enclosed space for rest or to isolate from the outside world. The parasol transforms into a tent, and the benches into comfortable cots. No door at night, no walls during the day.

Newspaper is an industrial design project whose objective is to enable a personal stance on a topic of one’s choice. The project is based on an article taken from a newspaper or a specialized magazine, used as a conceptual and critical starting point. Through the analysis, interpretation, and translation of this written content, the project invites the development of a design reflection, questioning the issues, forms, and uses related to the chosen theme.

Museum Trail is a project that explores Swiss museums in all their diversity. Rather than focusing solely on the large, well-visited institutions, the project explores what the term "museum" means today in a country that is home to over a thousand museums, one of the highest densities in the world.

Mira is an interior lamp that explores modularity through a pulley system that allows for adjusting light intensity. The lampshade, made of veneer, subtly transforms depending on the position of the mechanism, playing on both light and shape. This project reflects a need for flexibility in the domestic space and reflects a personal research on the evolving object, halfway between discreet technicality and poetic expression of the material.

Sport has become a key social driver in today’s society, with more and more city dwellers gathering downtown to practice together. Diego is an urban furniture concept designed to tap into this dynamic by bringing football back into the heart of the city. Designed for underused public squares and parks, this project invites people to come together and share public space through sport. With a simple tilt, Diego transforms from a bench into a football goal. Thanks to integrated wheels, it can be easily moved and rearranged to suit the users’ needs. A single module invites spontaneous play, while several combined form a real pitch with goals at each end and seatings for spectators on the side.
