The School of Form's GRADUATION 6 catalogue presenst graduation projects developed by the last cohort of students from Poznań.
The 2019/2020 academic year was an exceptional time for School of Form. As we were planning our move to Warsaw, we were suddenly hit with the pandemic situation and the new sanitary regime. The pandemic restrictions significantly impacted students’ ability to complete their graduation projects. Despite these obstacles, our students never gave up and managed to finish the projects and pass their thesis exams. Designer’s sensitivity and the ability to use research tools are the common traits of these projects. The solutions proposed by the young designers meet the real needs of users, respond to social phenomena, and signal the future of design.
I am truly proud, because despite of all these challenges, our students produced clever and beautiful projects. And I am sad that we can see them only in the form of pictures. We had hoped to launch the exhibition last fall, but the pandemic had been one step ahead of us all the time. We are still hopeful that these projects will see the light of day, together with the works of our 7th class of graduates. We believe that the day will come when we design new exhibitions.

This year’s graduation projects focus relationships. They tackle issues of identity and the self, in different cultural and social contexts. They convey longing for a mindful acceptance of oneself, expressed through caring and acceptance of one’s body, or by searching for one’s heritage. The projects respond to contemporary problems related to difficulties in naming emotions as well as communication with the loved ones and the world around.
