German School Internship & Workshop

Meet Aya May, Ayana and Sarah, 9th grade students at the German Embassy School in Beijing, who joined us for a two weeks internship at studio vapore in the last two weeks of May.

 

We gave them a small project to  complete over this short time, to re-design the entrance lobby of their school.

First step: brainstorming!

… and then heading to the school to interview the users.. what would they like for this space?

and now back to the studio to make a physical model of the space!!

starting with a few prototypes…

upgrading to a full professional model!

The team designed new furniture and elements for the students to meet in the lobby, a few corners for study reviews, and a house to climb to to relax! All inspired by the existing colour pallette.

We then asked them to make an official project presentation to studio vapore’ s team, Stefan Hoppel, the school vice-principal, and a few of the studio’s friends!

SUCCESS!!
Thank you Aya May, Ayana and Sarah, brilliant future designers for being with us!

The Archive Wall

Snapshots for this Archive Wall we designed for Western Academy of Beijing.

Inspired by the school colours and childrens museums, this wall is meant to be flexible to host different exhibition from the school events during the years: we created spaces for hanging posters, photos, and display boxes for objects like cups and t-shirts. The entire exhibition is designed like a cupboard: amazing work from our furniture suppliers!
