MAN AND LEISURE

How do we fill in and give meaning to our most personal time? Could we do it better, cleaner, more interestingly, more beautifully,
more sensibly? Our ‘Man and Leisure’ department takes an unprejudiced and interested look into people’s leisure time.

As a Leisure student, you are well aware of the changing world around you and your future role in it as a designer. You have a sense of product and service, as well as of complete systems. By analysing the things people take for granted, you are able to create new patterns.
Every semester will deal with a new theme, which we will look into by trial-and-error. Because in order to find solutions, you must start by understanding the problems and the way they relate to each other.

EEFJE SANDMANN

The Netherlands is fighting the
muskrat with all its might. Eefje
Sandmann has spotted opportunities
for ‘eco-friendly’ fur: the animals
are killed anyway, and using their
fur could save thousands of mink
lives. She has used the fur from four
tanned muskrats to create a pair of
warm mittens.
