New Designers
School: New Designers
Statement:
“New Designers is an annual exhibition that showcases the work of emerging design talent across a wide range of disciplines.
“The event is divided into two parts: week one features design graduates from disciplines such as textiles, fashion, jewellery, ceramics and more, while week two showcases graduates from graphic design, illustration, animation, product design, motion, digital arts and other fields.
“The exhibition provides a platform for these young designers to showcase their innovative and creative work to a wide audience, including industry professionals and potential employers.
“New Designers is a highly anticipated event in the design calendar, offering a glimpse into the future of design and showcasing the latest trends and techniques across various disciplines.”
Contagious GEM by Mun Lee
“I’m a Malaysian born illustrator based in London, specialising in concept art for film and games. From character and environment design to lively sketches and polished renderings.
“With a foundation in the fast-paced worlds of movies and game design, I’m now expanding into fine art, chasing new ways to grow and create.
“At my core, I’m a maker and art is my compass. I’m always learning, experimenting and pushing to see what’s next.”

Fanta x Huemint by Aimee Simpson
“In this project, I merged the Fanta brand with Huemint, a colour generation platform, to create a series of unique and visually captivating Fanta designs.
“Using the colours generated by Huemint, I crafted a range of bold, unconventional flavours designed to intrigue and attract consumers.
“By blending the distinctive design elements of both brands, I created a collaboration that infuses Fanta’s iconic branding with a dynamic splash of colour and artistic flair, representing the colour aspect of the design.
“Additionally, I reimagined the current logos to seamlessly integrate both brand identities, resulting in a cohesive and striking visual fusion.
“The ingredient information was played with to reflect the colour codes and values.”

Linea by Olivia Sinclair
“I’m a multidisciplinary designer whose practice bridges the worlds of craft, design and material exploration.
“With a body of work that ranges from sculptural ceramic stools to industrially influenced sheet metal forms, I bring a fresh, fluid approach to form, function and process.
“My project – Linea – reinterprets a traditionally handcrafted object through contemporary production, exploring how artisanal qualities can be preserved within scalable manufacturing methods.
“By carefully balancing material authenticity, form and finish, the design maintains the tactile richness and emotional resonance of the original craft.
“The result is an object that bridges heritage and innovation – honouring the cultural value of handwork while making it accessible to a wider audience.”

Rebranding The Generator by Rosie Downes
“This project takes on the rebranding of The Generator, Europe’s fastest growing accommodation brand, and enters them into the new luxury hostel market.
“Filling this gap allows The Generator to embrace a more design-led approach and celebrate the finer details within interior design.
“The Paris site aims to offer engaging, inspirational spaces fit to captivate young travellers to interact with one another, to share experiences and create new bonds.
“The proposed concept derives around hiding in plain sight, the idea that camouflage techniques are used in and around the jungle to conceal and disguise something.
“Delve into the on-site restaurant and cafe, or play a game of pool in the communal area.
“When it comes to the sleeping arrangement, this hostel has every option covered, with double en-suite bunks or family rooms for offer.”

Zema by Riaz Ul Siddiq
“Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a genetic skin condition affecting over 201 million people worldwide.
“Environmental factors like pollution have increased its prevalence. It causes itchy, irritated skin, restless sleep and self-consciousness.
“Despite its impact, effective treatments are limited, making eczema a significant and challenging health issue. Zema is a new way to care for the burning itch and damaged skin that comes with eczema.
“Using aluminium’s natural heat dissipation properties, you can massage Zema into the affected area to cool and soothe the skin.
“After use, red light therapy to promote faster healing, stimulate collagen production and reduce scarring, giving those who suffer a new way to tackle their problem.”

Curved Fruit Bowl by Samuel Reeves
“This series of bowls are made from aluminium, copper and brass.
“The project was born out of study into the sacristy of food, and the importance of the vessels we use to hold them. It is a simple design, made from bending one piece of sheet metal into a long, curved profile.
“The sweeping shape gives it a distinct look based on the angle of which the bowl is positioned. Despite its name, it can be used to hold a variety of items.”

Ariadne by Rhys Eaton
“A drawing of Ariadne, done for my map project named Striding with Statues.
“This project culminated in a walking map of Cambridge made to highlight the abundance of gargoyles, statues and reliefs across the city’s rooftops.”

Taper by Hayden Monk
“The Taper Barstool’s asymmetric, playful form adds effortless impact and a hint of Mediterranean flair to any contemporary space.
“Designed for a circular economy, it’s easy to disassemble and repair, supporting a longer lifespan.
“Made from sustainably sourced European ash and cork – both compostable at the end of life – Taper blends elegance with environmental responsibility.”

CPR + AID by Harry Wragg
“CPR + AID is a guide for those unsure how to perform CPR. It audibly clicks to give immediate feedback to the user to perform CPR correctly.
“It saves the time required to locate a defibrillator and set it up. The product was the Design Innovation in Plastics Winner 2025.”

School: De Montfort University

Pewter Pencil by Jack Pattison
“Pewter has been around for over 3,500 years and has yet to be used as a writing tool – until now.
“Pewterpoint Pencils are made from one piece of solid pewter, significantly more durable than graphite and built to last decades.
“Ergonomically considered and satisfyingly well-balanced, for left and right-handers of varying grip types. Their sculptural form allows for varied line thicknesses and styles, depending on which surface of the pencil is used.
“Exhibited at the V&A Museum, and winner of the Pewter Live 2024 Student Competition, Pewterpoint Pencils redefine an everyday tool through unexpected material innovation.”
