Till Seegräber – h.i.t.*

by Till Seegräber

Many rely on music streaming services daily, often using small Bluetooth speakers that compromise sound quality. High-end systems, while offering better sound, tend to be expensive or bulky. The h.i.t.* (hi-fi in a tube) combines Bluetooth convenience with premium sound quality. This wireless speaker system includes two battery-powered stereo speakers and a subwoofer to enhance performance. Made from inexpensive, rigid cardboard tubes, the speakers minimize vibration and use a reflective cone for 360° sound. The wireless, battery-powered speakers and a stationary subwoofer that charges them offer flexibility and convenience. h.i.t.* bridges the gap between affordability and high-quality audio.

Figure Libre

with Elric Petit

Figure libre is an industrial design project that empowers students to explore topics of their choice. This semester, guided by Elric Petit, students developed their personal projects inspired by articles from specialized newspapers or magazines. The objective is to create projects with the potential to seamlessly integrate in our contemporary society and its economy, leveraging their personal affinities and interests to enhance their work.

Abundance & Scarcity

with Nadine Sterk

When we live in a society with so much abundance yet at the same time so much scarcity, how do we discern the resources around us? How can we look to our surroundings to learn about where things come from, or how we might apply them in our own lives? More importantly, how can we live more harmoniously with nature by respecting it and taking only what we need? Within the workshop held by Nadine Sterk from Atelier NL the BA Industrial Design students were asked to create tableware around the theme ‘Abundance & Scarcity' from vernacular earth collected together in the Sauvabelin woods in Lausanne. Students and crew had no hesitation in getting their hands (and clothes) dirty to knead, turn, form, glaze, and fire ceramic tableware that tells a story.
