Barcelona native and London-based industrial designer Jordi Canudas has just completed his graduate product design studies at the Royal College of Art. His projects are a collection of process-intensive, interactive curiosities that involve the user's participation both in action and reaction. A great example of this is his Share Hat. Although we wouldn't be caught dead at our Monday meetings in this thing, it's still a sweet sight. The idea is that the hat sharers are brought together by a socially-charged object that enhances the everyday occurernces of conversation and, well, hanging out.

Our social lives are defined by the people we know. "Share" celebrates our relationships by transforming the standard and personal form of a hat to accommodate several wearers at once. This multiplication of function represents the way we integrate within social groups. A space that was invisible, but existing intuitively becomes both visible and humorous. It represents the umbrella of our everyday conversations.
