Colour Out of Space by Hyewon Seo 

"Colour Out of Space is Jaguar's future luxury autonomous vehicle. I aimed to redesign Jaguar's most beautiful past in the most futuristic way and used the new 3D sketch software a lot.

"The biggest feature of the vehicle exterior is that it is covered with a stretchable display. Therefore, the colour and graphics of the vehicle can always be changed. This was defined as the mobile media facade, and is named Colour Out of Space after its unusual colour."

G-Core concept – Honda X G-Shock by Changmin Bae

"Freedom is the first and original keyword since the motorcycle has been invented. Riders have enjoyed freedom through it and expressed it through various cultures. I thought about what generation Z's motorcycle and their riding fashion will be, not these days typical retro styles. So this G-Core concept is my answer.

"I propose a new style and culture with the collaboration of mobility brand Honda and fashion watch brand G-Shock, through the keyword Gorpcore, which create a fresh style by combining practicality and their own characters."

Gyozip by Jiyoon Kim

"Gyozip is an interactive scalable partition system designed to enhance and encourage joyous interactions between the users. 'Gyo', meaning interaction in Korean, and 'zip', reflecting the image of a single fastener, is put together as its name to reflect the main experience of scalable social interaction.

"Gyozip allows for changing levels of interaction. By altering the openness of Gyozip, users can selectively interact with others – closing, when busy, opening up when idle. Gyozip not only creates diverse patterns and degree of openness but also works as a fidget and catalyst for interaction between people in various atmospheres."

CALDO by Hyoseon Jeong and Minjoo Bok

"The need for sterilising clothing is increasing along with the concern of infectious diseases. CALDO eliminates viruses, dust mites, and germs within a few seconds. It also sterilises and removes creases using ultra-fine steam. The camera sensor embedded in the soleplate automatically detects the type of fabric and adjusts the temperature, pressure, and steam pattern accordingly.

"CALDO provides scent cartridges made in collaboration with perfume brands so that users can fragrance their clothing with their favourite scent. The remote control display shows information about CALDO's status, the detected fabric, and its steam type."

Archive Moleskine: Moleskine Space Branding by Haim Jung

"In medieval European monasteries, monks transcribed the Bible to cultivate their mind. The luxury notebook brand Moleskine will open a monastery concept store in the middle of Seoul for Korean millennials who need time to reflect on themselves in their busy daily lives.

"Customers can personalise their notebooks, make records and have time to focus on themselves in 'Archive Moleskine'. The space is designed in a structure in which curves overlap many times, inspired by the similarity between the arched structure of monastery and the curved form of paper. The image used etching techniques reminiscent of the Middle Ages."
