Lorenzo Rimini's MOOVE is an 'aging travel companion' designed for active travelers aged 75 and above. It functions as a hybrid of luggage and a walker, offering stability, a perching seat, and contemporary aesthetics to support autonomy and confidence.

Alexander Prekas's "etwas ist geblieben – Fabers Kammer" is an immersive narrative space inspired by Fahrenheit 451, exploring how narrative spaces create sensory experiences and offer detachment from digital life.

Boyun Choi's research investigates ceramic's potential as a multisensory design medium for ritual self-care, identifying conditions for ceramic to trigger ritual through sensory presence, consistency, and intentionality.

Bruna Ideias is developing a modular furniture system for birthing rooms, aiming to create a platform for autonomy by using warm tones, soft curves, and natural materials to encourage movement and verticality.

Elisa Bartat's "Plant Intimacies" proposes an open, living installation for natural history museums that dissolves vitrines, presenting plants as relational agents to foster ecological belonging.

Elvira Grau's fashion collection "Valere" explores value and appreciation through multisensory experiences, combining sculptural silhouettes, hand-painted silk prints, and detailed craftsmanship.

Other projects include Lia Schürpf's site-specific scenographic installations, Miranda Kistler's fashion exploring intentional loss and transformation, Nada Elghareb's portable sensory game, and Noerah's debut fashion collection focusing on accessories as the starting point for garments.
