Welcome to this year’s MA Industrial Design Graduation Show
Inside you will find projects dealing with morality, memory, multifunction, MRSA, self-image, home security, binge-drinking, TV dinners and more. These projects have been undertaken in the second year of the course, with time devoted to research, design and critical reflection.
“… but is it industrial design?”
MA Industrial Design at Central Saint Martins is about the predicting, challenging and shaping of the future of the discipline through diverse, collaborative and personal research-based projects. We are interested in the questions and issues that affect design and industrial manufacture, trends in marketing and consumption, the relationship between individuals and their material environment and the ethical implications of all of these. Projects tend to cross boundaries and frequently incorporate areas such as product, lighting, furniture and interaction, as we all ponder the question of what it means to be an industrial designer in a post-industrial age. You won’t necessarily find an answer to this question in the exhibition, but you might get an idea of how we are trying to tackle it.
We hope you enjoy what you see. If you want to find out more, and see up-to-date information about current projects, please visit the course website: www.maindustrialdesign.com
