Shaping transformation together

Reporting for the annual publication of the Institute Contemporary Design Practices 2022/2023 about a collaboration co-initiated by Ringel Media on current themes and discourses: How can we make care better through de-sign?

Product development in the care market is heavily regulated. It mostly focuses on improving the details of beds and their accessories. The Swiss company Embru develops, produces and distributes patient care products for old people’s and nursing homes, rehab clinics and psychiatric clinics. The 3rd-semester students experimented in close cooperation with the SME to sound out new design possibilities. They were aware of the fact that they were a group of future users – and are proud to present their novel product.

Stephanie Ringel initiated the project with Prof. Sebastian Stroschein and was actively involved in documenting it in the annual publication and on social media.
