Unesc Design students showcase ceramic coating collections to the industry

Students in the 4th semester of the Design program at Unesc presented five collections of ceramic coverings to the Marketing and Design departments of Gabriella Ceramic Coatings. The presentation took place on the evening of Wednesday (November 4th) and marked another stage of the collaborative project between the university and industry, which began in August.

The proposals were developed based on a briefing from the company, focusing on the creation of coordinated products, decorative kits, panels, bricks, and ceramic rugs. The projects aim to explore new possibilities for application and composition of coverings, considering aesthetic and commercial aspects.

Now, the students are moving on to the execution stage of the pieces and the development of the catalogs. The materials will be used to assess the technical and commercial viability of the collections.

"The experience brings academic training closer to industry demands and allows future designers to develop projects based on real market challenges, following stages that involve creation, product development, and analysis of production and commercialization possibilities," says the program coordinator, João Rieth, who guides the work alongside Professor Catherine Marcon.
