In the crumbling twilight of late capitalism, when algorithms choose our every desire and beige reigns supreme, a battalion of young designers emerges – not quietly, but roaring with vision, irony, and an unreasonable amount of foamcore.
This is not a graduating class. This is a design uprising.
Bound in this book lies the proof. A furious, joyful catalogue of resistance disguised as a senior show: A sex-positive board game that reclaims intimacy as playful and radical. Bags that shapeshift between work and nightlife, glittering with magnetic clasps. Circuitry embedded in objects, go-karts that flirt with danger, lights that seduce the air around them, apparel stitched with both futurism and feeling.
Each project is a confrontation. The work in this book is a reminder that design is not just about solving problems—it’s about asking better, weirder questions.
This is the Class of 2025. They did not come to play.
(Except, of course, when they literally did.)
