A Glimpse into the Future of Design
Through their participation in "Invitation to Lyria Academy: A Journey Through the Fabrics," the students were able to connect their academic knowledge with real-world experiences. They delved into the intricacies of sustainable development, explored the diverse cultural influences on design, and embraced the spirit of women's empowerment, aligning with Saudi Vision 2030.
Showcasing Creativity and Innovation
The highlight of this experience was a captivating showcase of the students' work. They presented five unique seating furniture designs, carefully crafted using Lyria's exquisite fabrics. These miniature models, scaled at 1:5, showcased the students' creativity and innovative approach to design. Additionally, the students collaborated on a full-scale chair, demonstrating their ability to translate their ideas into tangible reality.
