“Harvest” is an exhibition by students of the industrial design department of the Muthesius University of Art and Design Kiel which deals with the metrics of large-scale change and individual consumption.
“Harvest” is a series of 6 products that process and deliver a measured portion of different, valuable and necessary commodities such as clean water, warmth/- cold, energy and “matter” to one household.
Their aim is to investigate the potential to use design, technology, data, and knowledge to develop a series of devices that integrate in contemporary domestic environments and offer valid perspectives towards
how to solve global problems by offering pinpointed solutions—to climb the mountain a step at a time.
Design can deliver that.
The industrial design department of the Muthesius University of Art and Design in Kiel is one of the most prestigious design programmes in Germany. Located at the Baltic sea in the upper north of Germany the department's work spans from industry collaborations and technology research to governmental design strategies and life sciences, and focuses on a holistic and universal design approach.
