Core77's latest weekly roundup from September 15-19, 2025, presents a comprehensive collection of innovative industrial design projects, student work, and cutting-edge product developments that highlight the evolving landscape of contemporary design culture. The curated selection spans furniture design, medical devices, public installations, and everyday consumer products that demonstrate both aesthetic excellence and functional innovation.

The week's featured furniture pieces include the MT Chair, an elegant bent plywood creation by industrial designers Rafa Peris and David Guilmain, working under the studio name Pecadora. Danish design studio Moebe contributed a minimalist, height-adjustable wall lamp that exemplifies Scandinavian design principles with its low-tech approach and efficient use of materials. Additionally, designer Matthias Pleissnig shared detailed design sketches revealing the creative process behind his unconventional furniture pieces, offering insight into the conceptual development of experimental design work.

Interactive and public design projects featured prominently in this week's roundup, including 'Adults Don't Play' by Spacon and Halle, an innovative public bench that allows users to adjust seating configurations. The project challenges traditional concepts of public furniture by incorporating interactive elements that encourage user engagement. Designer and architect Müge Kahraman presented a unique mirror series inspired by baggage claim conveyor belts, demonstrating how everyday industrial elements can inspire sophisticated design solutions.

Technological innovation in design was highlighted through several case studies, including a collaboration with Formlabs showcasing rapid custom orthotic creation, and Spanner's work on the Freearm, a parent-invented medical device designed for tube feeding and IV infusions. The ForgedAir full-face respirator represents another breakthrough in functional design, offering comfort, lightweight construction, and sound transparency for improved user experience.

Student work and emerging design talent were recognized through Aleš Urbancík's innovative clothes rack featuring fixed, collapsible hangers, while established brands pushed boundaries with products like Teva's ReEmber Camp Slip On hybrid footwear and Tiger's new angled-blade blender design. The roundup also included practical design solutions such as Stonemore's anti-package-theft mailboxes and Paul Cocksedge's 'Critical Mass' marble table.

The compilation concluded with explorations of specialized design elements, including ticket rails described as 'perfect objects' that exemplify form-follows-function principles, steel coat hangers presented as part of 'a holistic system of objects for living,' and Biglow Woodcraft's Gravity Bars offering an elevated interpretation of traditional ticket rail design. The roundup serves as both inspiration and resource for the design community, showcasing how industrial design continues to address contemporary challenges while pushing creative boundaries.
