The awards ceremony and exhibition of the” Incubbase Design Awards”, organised by bbase in partnership with ITC, were successfully held on 22 October. The collaboration was an intensive 3-week project which involved 22 PolyU MA students. During the 3 weeks, the students learned all about the basics of sustainable eyewear design from bbase’s team, and worked to design and prototype their creations for PLAYBOY, Michael Young and bb LAB Athleisure.
Three MA students were selected for the Incubbase Design Awards at the ceremony: Incubbase Design Awards for Michael Young —Ashley; Incubbase Design Awards for PLAYBOY —Mia; and Incubbase Design Awards for bb LAB Athleisure —Sylvia.
