Description

YearTwo is working together with Samsonite on a 15 week design research project about the sensory travel experience of future textiles. The students have engaged in a process of creating and imagining design scenarios for travel, exploring conceptual narratives that identify design issues and possibilities to enable them to create an innovative textile design collection.

Brief

• 1) Design collection: To explore the sensory experience of travel and develop a collection of textiles for any future given travel scenario. Students are encouraged to consider the implications of smart, intelligent and ecological travel, in the context of the 5 senses. They will produce design scenarios and a final collection of textile designs for the Samsonite Brand.

• 2) Samsonite Degree Show Display: As a design team and in collaboration with Samsonite, the students are working towards the production of a Samsonite display for the degree show in June 2008.
