Madeleine K. Wieser, Talktile

A tactile “water cooler moment”-device for remote workers

The present and perspective future of work is remote, and with it comes the issues of isolation and lack of communication. Talktile aims to improve these issues by giving remote workers a tangible ‘meeting point’, like the water cooler in a traditional office.

Talktile gives remote workers a sense of having serendipitous, spontaneous talks with their coworkers without meeting in person. It offers a water cooler moment through a tangible product with a tactile surface that differs from the otherwise digital products remote workers interact with.

Camilla Ruh, Identiform

Identiform-Trägerin: Alice Klarwein

The collection ‘Identiform’ is an alternative workwear. Starting point of the collection is an apron pant, a single piece of workwear that can be applied in various fields of creative occupations, from manual labour to office work.

Workwear is the workspace that is the closest to us and that we identify the most with. The aim was to break with the common reference structure of salary, education and gender and suggest a contemporary typology of workwear.

You wear the apron pant on top of your personal clothing by fastening an elastic belt on the hips. You can optionally fasten the leg parts around the legs or flip them aside.
