Graduated in Transportation Design at IED Torino, Alumnus Andrea Mocellin won the Innovation Award and the Red Dot Award for the Revolve Air project, aimed at revolutionising the way we conceive the normal wheelchair. Its design allows it to adapt to the size of a hand luggage, and thus be easily boarded on to an airplane, for example, by allowing you to occupy 60% less space when both wheels and the frame are folded. The object is therefore easily transportable by car, as well as allowing you to move more easily in the city, even on buses and subways.

Ruth's project, Hávitat / Nursing Home, offers a social center designed for the elderly or patients in palliative care, allowing them to live an active social life. The project does not hide the fact that most of the residents are approaching death and many elements of the design try to create an environment where people can accept death and their loved ones can meet them in the best possible way.
Inés Balbás with a degree in Interior Design, which she also obtained at IED Madrid and her project SÊLO / Upcycled biomaterial, were among the 75 final winners of this international competition. Her work is the result of an intense process of research and experimentation on waste, which has become a problem for the environment.

MILANO MODA GRADUATE: SPECIAL RECOGNITION FOR LUCA BIANCO
YKK Italia - main partner of Milano Moda Graduate - awarded a special prize to Luca Bianco, graduating from IED in Fashion Design, for the commitment shown in creating the finalist outfit in the contest promoted by Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana. Together with his colleague Andrea Annarita Mazza, Bianco competed in the special YKK section of the event with a focus on closing accessories.
The collection from which Luca drew the outfit presented is called LAGRANDE:SISTEMA and it is a work that looks at technological functionalism and the working class. The aesthetic is in fact inspired by the intricate machinery that surrounds us every day and that we no longer notice. The artistic reference are instead some cornerstones of Japanese comics and animation, in tune with the criticism of unconscious progress, with a focus on what appears to be a dystopian future. On the catwalk for the main category "Fashion Design", on the other hand, the now former IED students Giorgia Gervasoni and Valeria Nicoletti, with five outfits from their respective thesis collections.

Now it can be found at Sónar in an adapted and enriched version - IED Amaze Project remixed by Stream Machine - that combines a "taste" of the thesis projects with a further possibility of interaction. The same user, through controllers, becomes the author of a world of iridescent shapes that make up the room of wonders created by Stream Machine, a software based on the powerful Unreal Engine by Epic Games, which allows you to graphically rework images, photos and videos, to create immersive rooms. The world of IED Amaze Project will also be accessible through the IED Amaze Project app. The installation I AM YOU - Reflection of your identity in a virtual world will also involve the Sónar audience on very current themes, with which the IED Barcelona students of the Master in Interaction Design invite you to reflect on the possibilities of expression offered by digital avatars, allowing participants to create their own virtual identity.
