Projects developed by students of the Joint School featured on the design blog Dezeen
The projects were created by second-year students as part of the course “Materials for Product Design and Innovation”, taught by Politecnico di Milano professor Valentina Rognoli, with the support of PhD candidates Ziqian Yu, Chengjun Li and Sofia Soledad Duarte Poblete.
The course provides an in-depth understanding of different material types, their properties, and historical evolution in design, while highlighting the connection between material characteristics, product performance, and user experience. Emphasis is placed on sustainability, circularity, and the role of material innovation in shaping environmentally responsible design solutions.
