Keep In Touch

The collective exhibition of the Furniture and Interior Design Studio presents works by students and faculty lecturers who explore the properties, transformations, and potential uses of alternative materials through material experimentation.

The exhibition offers visitors direct contact with the materials — their textures, structures, and their ability to shape space both visually and acoustically. The exhibited objects underwent acoustic testing at the Research and Innovation Centre for Electrical Engineering (Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of West Bohemia in Pilsen), while their internal structures were examined using an electron microscope at NTC UWB (New Technologies – Research Centre, University of West Bohemia).

The development of the individual materials combines different approaches and disciplines — from so-called tangible thinking (design based on direct experience with materials), through experimental production, to laboratory analysis. The studio explores the changing properties of materials and seeks new possibilities for their application in contemporary design.

The exhibition Keep in Touch invites visitors to engage physically with the works — to perceive through touch, listen to the materials, and reconsider the ways we interact with materials in everyday life.
