For this project, the 1st year students had to design a bag, or a collection of bags (if that makes sense). Whether for hiking in the mountains, trout fishing, camera protection, carrying tools or everyday shopping. The type of bag, its use and the materials used were free, but mainly soft materials and textiles in all their forms, preferably sustainable: traditional, natural, technical, active, woven, non-woven, knitted, were favored. The following aspects should be at the heart of their thinking, and should be carefully researched: — Target use context; — Function, use and ergonomics; — Construction, production and materials.

The aim of this project was to approach industrial casting techniques through a playful, experimental laboratory. The students produced objects in plaster, which did not necessarily have to have a function. However, they must be technically interesting, i.e. their molds must be simple to produce, and the molded parts must feature singular characteristics inherent in the molding process. The molds (free materials), together with the plaster castings, were shown for evaluation in the form of a group exhibition.

The 1st year class was invited by the Museum für Gestaltung in Zurich to design wooden toys that were exhibited as part of the retrospective exhibition Willy Guhl: thinking with your hands, which ran from December 9, 2022 to March 26, 2023. Curator Renate Menzi and set designer Sebastian Marbacher were their main contacts. For 39 years, Willy Guhl has taught at the Zurich School of Design (ZHdK), focusing on toy design with a highly sensitive and applied experimental approach. It is precisely in this context that the students, 40 years on, have come up with ideas in line with Willy Guhl's approach. Hands On, the title of the exhibition and project, defines a particular spirit of hands-on design. How do you think with your hands? How do you develop an object that can be manipulated and provides a particular experience? The students therefore began the project by experimenting, testing, manipulating and demonstrating the simple principles of mechanisms in the form of a scale model.

Platform10 is the transformation of a railway and industrial site to a new district entirely dedicated to to culture. The space, some 22,000 square meters, hosts three recognized cultural institutions: the Cantonal Museum of Fine Arts, the Museum of the Elysée and the Museum of design and contemporary applied arts, to a few steps from the station, in the centre of Lausanne . In order to complete this major transformation, Platform 10 launched a competition (by invitation) , in which the 2nd year students took part to design coherent propositions of outdoor (urban) furniture for this new public space.
