GRADUATES BASEL 2020: Alev Güngör #ODDAdigital

With a goal of re-contexting and giving new life to disposed materials such as plastic bags and product packaging, Gallen-born Product and Industrial Design student Alev Güngör began researching through an observation of nature and experimentation of different transformative processes in merging materials, patterns and silhouettes together. Güngör’s future-forward approach allows a new perspective on upcycling through a construction––and destruction––that looks to reuse and incorporate materials that go beyond traditional textiles.
