Ms. Rina Bernabei, a designer who explores the relationships between traditional crafts and digital fabrication, gave a lecture on her work. Ms. Bernabei has been investigating the \u201cemotional value\u201d that can be created on product designs by combining traditional crafts with contemporary digital language. She has experimented with \u201chybrid\u201d ceramic works using a 3D printer. For this talk, Ms. Bernabei focused on the practical approach that combines design with research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As an educator, researcher, and product designer, Ms Bernabei takes the stance of \u201cDesign Through Research.\u201d Her research always comes with physical outcomes. This perspective is the rule that she imposed on herself. Hence, the education and research activities at UNSW and the production activities of her design studio, Bernabeifreeman, are inextricably linked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Bernabei wanted \u201cto give emotional values to products via personalization\u201d, and for that, she advocates the concept of \u201cUser Completion\u201d. The designer creates an unfinished product and the users complete the design. Through this process, users feel attached to the products. The lighting products, \u201cStitch Light\u201d and \u201cPop Light\u201d, were completed by users with added stitches and cutting the paper with their fingers respectively. These are examples of \u201cUser Completion\u201d. It shows the possibility of creating various well-made products with simple manual work. Such methodology is hugely compatible with \u201cIndustry 4.0\u201d, the Industry revolution that focuses on digital fabrication technology. Hence, it is natural that Bernabei turns to 3D printers. In the \u201cDigital Craft\u201d project, a plastic bowl generated by the 3D printer served as a base for user to add on with the weaving. The integration of 3D printer and hand skill resulted in an intricate product with both digital and craft quality. Though there are much research done on 3D printing of ceramics in recent years, her experimentation had reinforced similar ideas with the quality of the materials. Though working with advanced technology, Ms Bernabei holds on the belief that it should be \u201ccraft-oriented rather than Tech-oriented\u201d. From her sharing, I can feel her conviction of \u201cDesign Through Research\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The lecture concluded with a Q&A session for the faculty members and students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
