designers collaborate with people who have mental disorders


'mr.wilson' by dominik langhammer

loony-design is a joint project between the students enrolled in the industrial design
program at the university of the state academy of fine arts in stuttgart, germany
and the eveangelical charitable mission in baden, since 2005. each year,
students develop a range of designs for the everyday, which are then produced by
people with mental disorders, living and working in centres run by the mission and
then sold.
