Student challenges

We challenge students from design academies worldwide to work with our products and create whatever they feel can be made with it. Working with young designers allows us to look at our products in a different way, exploring the possibilities from a different angle, whilst allowing students to express their creativity and gain work experience. Have a look at the astonishing results of some of our Student challenges from the past and click on the link to get some additional information.
