27.11.2024
Last year, MArch students participated in a competition with Nerinea, designing pieces made from natural stone. The winning project, created by Pilar Escobar and Manon Goossens, was a furniture collection called Ringe, which is currently in production.
As part of the Module 06_Graphic and Product of the 2023-2024 program, MArch students took part in a special project developed in collaboration with Nerinea, a leading company in the production of stone products. This experience, structured as a competition, challenged students to design an innovative piece using materials supplied by the company. They explored the properties and creative potential of these materials with the freedom to design any type of object. Through this hands-on exercise, students not only deepened their understanding of stone materials but also applied their design and conceptualization skills, tackling the technical and aesthetic challenges of transforming an idea into a tangible product. The collaboration with Nerinea provided a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between academia and the professional world, fostering learning through experimentation and direct interaction with the industry.
In this inaugural edition, the winning project was designed by students Pilar Escobar from Argentina and Manon Goossens from Belgium. Their creation, a furniture collection called Ringe, includes a dining table, a combined dining table, a coffee table, a shelf, and a stool. The design balances curved and straight forms and features a color palette of blues, beiges, browns, and grays. The proposal is currently in the production phase.
