Modifications

This zine-style publication explores the modification of everyday objects as a practice reminiscent of the now largely abandoned habit of repairing. It also presents it as a sustainable alternative to constantly replacing items with new ones.

Using BIC lighters as a proof of concept, the author presents examples of object modifications and personalization using readily available materials. The project encourages readers to experiment with transformation and creatively alter items they already own. It is accompanied by a series of lighters modified by the author, serving as tangible examples of this approach.

Graduation 10

The release of our new catalog of student graduation projects is always a special occasion. On one hand, it serves as a farewell to this year's graduates and honors their hard work by showcasing their final projects. On the other hand, it is a summary of the most significant and intriguing projects we have worked on with students throughout the past year.
