School statement:
“Ljubljana’s Fine Arts and Design Academy University of Industrial Design courses educate, important and future-oriented designers who are able to address the complications of contemporary life through durable, research-driven design.
“As the only university-level industrial design program in Slovenia, we offer a vertical integrated path (PhD from BA) that combines the design practice with a strong understanding of theory, strategic thinking and social, technical and environmental references. Our interdisciplinary attitude is based in design method, system thinking and user-centric innovation.
“Students work on hands-on projects developed in collaboration with public and private partners, dealing with real-world challenges-from stagnant product design and service innovation to circular economy strategies and social influences. The teaching is led with a dynamic, inclusive team, which is accompanied by intensive experience in both academic research and professional practice.
“A distinguishing feature of our program is the integration of research in the design process, with emphasis on visual literacy – an area that makes students seriously analysis and communicate complex ideas through design. This foundation supports the development of designers who are not only technically skilled, but also intellectually and socially aware.
“Students presented below reflect these values in the projects behavior. They display the diversity, depth and relevance of our approach – and our students’ creativity to respond to the challenges around them.”
Wood it’s not good? Zoja čepin, Jure Kralj, Maša Kralj, Klara Maček and Leon Rojk štupar
“The forests are one of the three largest carbon sinks in the Earth. While they serve as important houses for biodiversity, misleading human interventions have resulted in ecological erosion and bark beetle overpopulation as a result of monoculture tree plantation-rogged green deserts.
“Wood is not good? This increases awareness about human impact on forest ecosystems and it imbalance.
“The aim of the newly designed educational observatory and multi-caste feeder is to address these knowledge intervals, which offers the first step towards the more flexible and informed approaches.
“The project invites intensive reflection on the established forest management practices, highlighting the role of bark beetle overpopulation as an indication of ecological imbalance.”

SEAPACK, Marko Gorenak, Anja Tudjan and Nina Vranješ by UMIHANA DIZDAREVIč
“Biodesign made as a student project for the challenge, this innovation converts wash-up cigrass into biodegradable packaging.
“Every year, the European Union produces 84 million tonnes of polystinine, most of which pollute our oceans.
“At the same time, the 18 Metrus-Cube’s cigras alone are collected from the Slovenian beaches-most of which ruined a possible valuable resource.
“SEAPACK re-connects this sea waste as a permanent material. Light, strong and saltwater-upright, it provides a natural option for styrofomes. No plastic. No pollution. No pollution. Just spherical thinking.”

Coordination through restraint – zoaja čepin, Marko Gorenak and Professionary Coffee Machines by Anja Tudjan
“As part of an intensive one week workshop led by Milan-based designer Alex Tatik, MA Industrial Design students were challenged to develop new coffee machine concepts based on uniform technical and functional layouts.
“The group focused on creating a machine for a professional environment. Their approach was defined by clarity, restraint and spatial sensitivity – the purpose of the design was to integrate in their surroundings rather than their dominance.
“Each of the three consequences was developed around a specific user landscape, sophisticated through analysis, idea and detailed design work.
“The final concepts were presented with a high-end view that expresses a sophisticated, purpose-operated aesthetics.”

Disintegration through expression – Maz Cralas, Clara Kisewetterova and Jaka Korda Expert Coffee Machines
“Another group of students of MA product design made the same design brief discovery – manufacturing coffee machines from a shared technical basis – through a fundamentally different lens. They contacted the equipment as a vehicle for expression and as a blind major object in space.
“Their three bold concepts are experimental and expressive, the purpose of which is to stand out instead of the mixture. By focusing on unconventional user landscapes, they challenged specific expectations of kitchen equipment and re -formulated the coffee machine as a design statement.
“Results, developed in great detail and presented through the striking view, it displays how far from the same early point can change the creative direction.”

Pizza and Bread Kit: Matic Lesger and čRT štrubelj reopen home pizza experience
“Developed in collaboration with Hisense, this project aims to improve the functionality of the product through intensive research in the user needs-focusing on home baking.
“Students saw that while pizza is widely loved, the ovens of the house rarely give satisfactory results. This gave a new form of baking tools to increase the performance of the oven and make the quality results more accessible.
“Set includes: with a removable handle for shaping and baking pizza, pizza with an engraved guide to give a copper core for exact heat control, radiator feathers and temperature probes for exact heat control; and pizzaboard with an engraved guide to give dough shape.”
“Results: crisp crusts, simple handling and more consistent baking at home.”

Gal Grabovšek by Kärcher 2wsa
“Developed through deepening user, marketing, and functionality research, the project focuses on designing accessories for kernels, a German company specialized in cleaning equipment.
“Kärcher 2wsa is a two-way tube tearing and pressure adjuster that connects two hoses to a single power washer, leading to independent control of water pressure.
“With focus on supporting shared use between adults and children, it enables young users to include and learn along with a parents – safely and together.
“More than just a gadget, 2wsa acts as an educational tool, introducing children to safety, hygiene and a strong work of morality.
“For busy parents, it makes a chance to spend meaningful time with your child during early years.”

High pressure washer rent service by kärcher box-rin Togo
“Kärcher box is an innovative service designed to make the high -pressure washed of Kärcher more accessible.
“Depending on the user’s habits, market needs and extensive research in the functionality of the product, this design-lower solution provides a flexible and inexpensive on-demand service-especially suited to urban residents with limited storage spaces at home.
“The process is simple: Users reserve a washer through a dedicated app and collect it from a specific yellow box located at local stores including petrol stations and supermarkets.
“Boxes also stock detergent according to specific cleaning functions.”

What is left? Check a material in the practices buried by Zaka Cordi, Matic Lesger and čRT štrubelj
“What remains? A speculative and material design project that reappears the burial as a task of returning our resources into the ground.
“Instead of using an urn made of extractive materials, it asks: What if we have allowed the body to return as material?
“The project proposes to use the deceased, especially blood and hair resources, to create a biodegradable urn.
“Through coagulation, dehydration and compression, the students created ‘overall’ like a ‘plastic’ that slowly breaks over time.
“Not to preserve, but to respect, the Kalash invites us to reflect how we mourn, what we leave and we can lead to death with care and humility.”

Wildlef – Wooden Action Toys by Mark Majen and Onsagen Todorovic
“Wildlef is one of the results of an interdisciplinary project aimed at developing new and innovative toys.
“The project brought students and masters together with product design and illustration to detect fickle ways to re -connect children with the natural world.
“Wildlef collection has four wooden figures inspired by forest life – mushrooms, insects and animals – designed to bring nature close to children through imaginative sports.
“Each figure is made up of ball-colored modules, allowing children to collect and pose in various ways. Prepared from the middle wood, toys are durable, production and safe for children.”
