FDIK Exhibition at Esa Unggul Campus Bekasi

Esaunggul.ac.id, Faculty of Design and Creative Industries, Universitas Esa Unggul held an exhibition of works as a criterion for the Final Semester Examination for Product Design and Interior Design students. The exhibition was named “Product Design-Interior Design Exhibitions” with the theme “Exploitation Authenturalist”.

The exhibition is the result of collaboration between Product Design and Interior Design students which was held on January 15-19, 2024. The theme and concept of Exploitation Authenturalist means the freedom of the creativity process in exploring the utilization of natural resources.

Exploitation itself means human freedom to remain free without any restrictions. In fashion design, it means exaggerated and flashy shapes and details. The ambiguous attitude is translated into contrasting mixes and combinations.

Authenturalist stands for Authentic-Naturalist where authentic is the concept used for the design of meubeul, a rattan chair that uses original and environmentally friendly materials and naturalist which means that the rattan material comes from nature.

This exhibition activity was attended by the Director of the Bekasi campus of UEU Mr. Nixon Ezred MT, Dean of FDIK Mr. Karna Mustaqim, S.Sn., M.A., Ph.D, and the head of the Product Design Study Program Mr. Salman Maulana S.Sn., M.Ds and the head of the Interior Design Study Program Mrs. Irma Damayantie, S.Ds, M.Ds.
