Master’s in Product Design
This series of lessons explores the transformative role of design in addressing contemporary challenges through three themes: Space, Reflection, and Developing the Future.
The projects presented by the second-year students of the Master’s in Product Design offer innovative and sustainable solutions that encourage speculation and inclusion, value the permanence of materials, and challenge stereotypes. Each lesson reflects a commitment to the social and environmental impact of design, proposing objects and interventions that foster dialogue.
Throughout the sessions, discussions will focus on how design can contribute to a more conscious, equitable, and sustainable society, creating connections between people, materials, and environments.

Development and evolution are inherent to human nature and accompany all phases of our lives, reflecting both the way we relate to the external world and the relationship we establish with ourselves and our bodies. The lessons to be presented address development in different contexts through design, namely social inclusion, moral introspection, and motor rehabilitation, using objects from everyday life.
