This year, the University of Oregon Product Design program turns 10 years old. Additionally, 17 seniors will be displaying their designs at Salone del Mobile Milano beginning this upcoming Tuesday.At the University of Oregon, Product Design students learn thoughtful, intuitive design through means of material choice and manufacturing methods. We are taught to consider form, craftsmanship, user interaction, and aesthetic value. These projects are a compilation of senior works classified as either home goods or furniture. Each product was carefully developed to pay close attention the users it interacts with and its surrounding environment.
