The message of the project

The project’s ultimate goal is to create a versatile modular item—such as a candle holder or vase—that fosters connections between adults and children by encouraging creativity and addressing parental concerns about fragile decor. Emphasising sustainability, modularity, innovation, lightness, and non-fragility, the product features basic geometric shapes. Its adaptability allows for daily rearrangement, involving both adults and children in an ongoing process of decor development.

The idea behind the project

The project envisions strengthening the bond between adults and children in shared living spaces by alleviating parental concerns about decor. The dual-functional modular product not only enhances the beauty of the home but also provides a platform for children’s creativity. Inspired by art and architecture, it is designed with geometric shapes that serve as vases, candle holders, and more. Using advanced techniques such as 3D printing and sustainable practices like upcycled leather, the project blends aesthetics and functionality. Its adaptability lies in allowing users to combine shapes, creating ever-evolving sculptures with a unique fixing system that maintains coherence in home decor. Lightweight, vibrant, and unbreakable, these objects encourage children’s creativity without causing parental anxiety. Beyond its visual appeal, the product acts as a catalyst for parent-child connections, contributing to child development and fostering relationships. The project also promotes inclusivity by offering gender-neutral design elements that enhance the play experience for everyone.

What next?

The project aims to elevate visibility in craftsmanship and digital technology by inviting children to take an active role in decorating their parents’ homes. To further strengthen the parent-child connection, the project will host workshops at the ASA Leather School, where participants will engage in 3D printing activities and discuss vital topics such as the preservation of craftsmanship, the fusion of traditional and digital techniques, and the responsible use of recycled materials. This aligns with the project’s vision of combining creativity, education, and sustainability in product development and community engagement.
