PEP 15

The 15th edition of the Education, Design and Cooperation with Industry Programme (short in Polish - PEP) has been launched. It is held by Poznan University of Arts under the guidance of Prof. Katarzyna Laskowska, for the third time with the participation of NOTI. In this anniversary edition of PEP students are to design for NOTI a sofa, taking into account innovative system sleep function. The effects of this cooperation and the final product or products will see on the Arena Design fairs in 2016.

The PEP program involved six groups of students, each of which presents two designs. We are now after the first presentation of projects and the jury has chosen five best ones. Projects of sofas will be further developed and the end of June one or two will be selected for the so-called prototyping stage. But before the students began their work they had a chance to get to know the NOTI brand and its highly distinctive design market, technological and production potential. In this year's edition of PEP as mentioned above, they have the task to design a modern sofa bed with innovative solutions sleep function. The most commonly used so far on market mechanisms are not very functional, and at the same impact on the final form of the sofa, making it a piece of furniture often less visually appealing than a usual sofa.
