a former participant from one of our design aerobics courses, jess priemus wrote to us to let us know how helpful the online design education course was to her:

‘I completed the designboom design -aerobics DIY course back in 2006 at that time I was simultaneously working on my final year thesis at RMIT university on a similar topic – ‘making do’. since completing the design-aerobics course and university, I have established my own firm, bijten, with my partner, nic (architect). soon we hope to start manufacturing the couch cover – up (shown above). thanks once again for a fabulous course, it really helped get me through many creative blocks!’ – JP

the couch cover – up by bitjen based on a variety of famous couches and armchairs, allows you to own your ideal piece couch cover – up of furniture, for a reasonable price. choose from a variety of shapes and sizes then simply slip it over your old couch and voila! from crappy to corbusier in under 10 seconds.

— the lesson lists for the upcoming design-aerobics courses (ceramics and childhood) are now online. you can leran more about how the courses work here.
