WWU Industrial Design Students are back with ReMade Project, opening Friday, March 10 at Ideal
ReMade is a project the junior class of Western Washington University’s Industrial Design students embarks on with the goal of taking materials that would have ended up in a landfill and turning them into functional and well-designed consumer products. In a mere matter of weeks, each student designs their product, sources all the materials, produces a limited edition of 20, and creates all packaging/branding for their piece. Ideal provides some guidance to the students during the process, sharing thoughts from a retail perspective as well as hosting the sale. After a hiatus of four years, this is Ideal’s twelfth year collaborating with WWU Industrial Design to host the ReMade project.
Don’t miss the opening reception on Friday, March 10 from 6-9 pm to meet these up-and-coming designers and check out their products. The students’ designs will be for sale at Ideal from March 10 through March 31, while supplies last.
This year’s theme is “Tools for Living” and covers a broad range of products including votive candle holders fashioned from beer cans, vases made using PVC pipe, and pencil pouches sewn from bicycle innertubes to name a few.
