The students independently selected a product that has existed for at least 25 years and has been forgotten, has become obsolete or is hardly noticed today and has the potential to be given a new use in modern times.
In the course, we took a look to the past to develop new, future-oriented, modern ideas.

Based on the selected product, we went through a design process, in which we analyzed the products, looked at the problems and trends of our time and designed new, contemporary products.

Different approaches for the redesign were:

• How should the product be designed from today’s social, technological and ecological aspects?
• How would the product be designed if it were invented today?
• Are there “old”, analogue principles that can provide added value in today’s digitalized society (e.g. the Polaroid principle).
• How can the “old” product be meaningfully embedded in today’s digital ecosystem?
