Brevane Stone explores how olfactory cues, embedded into wearable ceramic jewelry, can enhance alertness in individuals with disrupted circadian rhythms. Using slip-cast forms that absorb and diffuse stimulating essential oils, the project applies Pavlovian conditioning principles to support wakefulness, with a focus on women managing irregular sleep schedules and caregiving roles.

Thalia is a designer and strategist from Singapore and New York. Originally beginning her career as a management consultant, she pivoted to join Pratt’s Masters in Industrial Design in 2023 to explore design as a channel of connection to ourselves, the people and the systems around us. While her work so far has focused on furniture, lighting and homewares, she is always looking for ways to combine her two backgrounds and apply them to new realms. Her interests stretch across sensory and experiential design, wellbeing, craft, natural materials, modularity and systems, seasoned with a sprinkle of tropical sensibility.

From Fragments to Form: Sensorial Encounters reimagines industrial material waste by transforming prototyping remnants into a sustainable, circular material system. Instead of considering objects as permanent, the project envisions them as temporary forms, employing a bio-based binder so materials can be endlessly recycled and reborn. This process produces a robust, rigid composite that fulfills functional needs while minimizing the environmental footprint of design. Engineered for tactile and acoustic performance, the project employs a modular assembly system to enable adaptable spatial configurations. By merging waste management with intentional design, this sensorial approach delivers a solution that is both environmentally responsible and structurally adaptable.

ChiaMin (Jamie) is a Taiwanese industrial designer based in New York. Her work explores how everyday objects shape emotional experiences through the lens of the five senses and personal rituals. She is especially interested in modular design and creating adaptable systems for daily life. In her practice, she enjoys experimenting with different forms of making, including ceramics and silkscreen printing, as a way to expand how design can be expressed.

Echo Blossom explores how overlooked urban infrastructure can become a medium for sound. In fast-paced cities filled with overwhelming noise, this project addresses how we might refocus on shifting our attention rather than adding more sound.

By embedding passive sound mechanisms into existing systems like pipes, natural forces such as water flow activate dispersed elements to create an evolving sonic environment. These subtle sounds gently interrupt routine, inviting awareness and allowing the city to be rediscovered through its hidden rhythms.
