The world is undergoing dynamic changes. Old work methods are slowly becoming a thing of the past, and new ones are only looming on the horizon. This year's MANUBA collection was created around the keyword "portal" and is an attempt to answer the question: what role will design play in the nearest future? On the eve of the new chapter, we look back at the past, drawing from the tenets of modernism, which did not see the worlds of design and art as separate, but intersecting and generating new qualities. We looked for such qualities as an interdisciplinary team of designers and an artist, combining artistic research and design thinking. the traditional craft of ceramics became an ideal testing ground, especially when combined with the tools and technologies at our disposal, such as 3D printing and wireless communication protocols.

A small series of three objects, made in 30 copies each, was used by the design team to answer the question: what kind of futures are developing from the ongoing processes? The collection consists of objects that reflect the nature of three potential scenarios: analogue, hybrid and metaphysical. They show different possible contexts for design ans well as for designs themselves, fulfilling tactile, informative and aesthetic functions.
