Layer by Marcus Anger Layer investigates the potential of the "Vase Mode", a setting in 3D printing that promises fast and impeccable outcomes, yet concurrently presents a distinct set of challenges. Kouéno by Lucas Hosteing Slabwood is a sawmill off-cut obtained from a log that has been cut. These offcuts are generally destined to be crushed or burnt. Going against the tradition of working with "perfect" wood, Kouéno adds value and bring slabwood in a new context. Campà by Luca Vernieri Campà is a collection of decorated ceramic objects. Building upon tradition, the handdecorated drawings undergo a complete transformation as they narrate stories of everyday contemporary life.

Re-Club by Yohanna Rieckhoff Kid’s feet grow quickly: about one size every six months.
