Matter Matters Vol. II invites you to step into a world where every material holds a story to be told—a continuation of the BA (Hons) Product Design programme’s quest to redefine the boundaries of craftsmanship and creativity.
This exhibition features Tapaestry and Make & Made—celebrating innovative approaches to design, process and storytelling.
At the heart of this journey, each project is a testament to innovation and imagination. Tapaestry weaves together tradition and experimentation, while Make & Made dives deep into the creative process, exposing the raw, unfiltered moments that lead to discovery. Together, they celebrate design as a narrative—one that bridges the past, present and future of how we view discarded materials.
It’s not just about objects, it’s about transformation. It’s about seeing the ordinary with fresh eyes and reimagining its potential. Through hands-on material studies, daring repurposing techniques, and moments of creative experimentation, students have explored the untold stories within materials, pushing them to their limits and beyond.
Let yourself be drawn into the stories. Let the textures, colours and forms spark curiosity. Let them remind you that even the most mundane materials hold extraordinary potential when shaped by human hands and limitless imagination.
