FSW Design recently partnered with Loughborough School of Design and Creative Arts to set a design brief for final year students, as part of their 'Live Brief' module. Six companies in total presented design briefs to students, who were given a week and a half to respond. All students delivered a product concept, demonstrated across three presentation boards.

The top submissions were recognised and awarded at an exhibition evening in the Design School on 24th February. It was great to see all the students' hard work on display!

FSW tasked students with designing a street side electric vehicle charging solution to help alleviate the issue of trailing cables from properties in urban areas with no off-street parking.

Congratulations to the following students who were awarded by FSW Design:

1st Place: Liliana Alexandre
2nd Place: Natasha Burt
3rd Place: Alex Miller, Lewis Barker and Carys Gardiner
