a former design-aerobics participant alexandros stasinopoulos from greece, recently got in touch to let us know one of his projects won an ‘iF concept award’ last year.

alex’s ‘briefc(eramic)ace’ is a briefcase that makes extensive use of zirconium oxide on its surface with leather details. the aim of his design was to highlight the strength of high-tech ceramic materials by using them for an object that would occasionally get bashed around.
