Inspirative and Problem-Solving Products

Design Warehouse Project is an exhibition of Industrial Design students' academic work. The displayed works are those which were produced during the last semester from a variety of courses in the major, including final project. A wide range of products or prototypes were shown in this exhibition, such as the automotive, furniture, electronics, clothing, and many more. Each of the works shown has a uniqueness that makes it have a more valuable than the competitors on the market. The uniqueness can be either material or its use. For example, a minimalist-designed guitar for users who love to travel by plane. The guitar has a thin dimension, thus carriable into the aircraft cabin. In addition, a number of works produced through cooperation with industrial companies. Next to the minimalist guitar, there is a medium-sized guitar. This guitar was designed for women who have a hobby of traveling and playing guitar. The guitar has a relatively small size compared to other guitars and was produced in cooperation with Genta, a Bandung-based original guitar company.

In another corner of the exhibition, there is a familiar toy, namely chess. However, it has a circle-shaped chess board. In addition, this chess game has colossal characters and Indonesian batik drawn on the pawns. This chess set design of Intan K. Faradilla (Industria Design 2014) is produced by the small-medium industry (IKM) KayaKayu. The pawns in this chess game are painted with the indigenous batik pattern of Solo and Yogyakarta. This chess game aims to be a means of education for Indonesian children. "The strength of this product is its uniqueness and the way of its production, which requires no machine," as Faradilla said. Not surprisingly, the exhibition was visited by hundreds of students from 1 to 9 pm.
