2009/SEP/11-13 STUDENT WORKSHOP
MOSCOW NOMAD
Is it possible to be a nomad in Moscow? The design students at the British Higher School of Art & Design, Moscow, had the opportunity to find out during a 2-day workshop with onizou. The task? To create products or services for modern nomads. We worked on 5 themes: luggage & storage, food & drink, electronics & power, navigation, and nomadic spaces. A weekend full of great ideas. Scroll down and check out the pictures. Big thanks to Natalia Schiptsova for arranging the event.
