Material Led Design installation celebrates the new focus in Colours and Materials at the Department of Design in Aalto University and showcases students’ explorations and innovations from bachelor and master Colour and Material Design courses that took place in spring 2016. These samples are from the concepting stage of material design process. Students studied the inherent qualities and properties of the metals, woods, plastics, textiles, glass and concrete by pushing their boundaries and challenging what is possible. Material concepting sparks inspiration and ignites innovation breakthroughs for products and services.

The exhibition took place on 5.9-11.9.2016 at the Pop-up space in Torikorttelit (Unioninkatu 25)
