Contrapesos de rueda reciclados de Toyota
La finalidad principal de una carretilla elevadora es levantar objetos pesados. Para que la máquina sostenga y equilibre eficazmente estas cargas, necesita numerosas piezas robustas y pesadas. Una de esas piezas, que a menudo se desperdicia, es la rueda. Cuando se combinan con una capa de caucho en el exterior, estas ruedas resultan ideales para su reutilización como discos de peso. Estos discos de pesas reciclados no sólo ayudan a reducir los residuos, sino que también ofrecen una alternativa rentable a los discos de pesas tradicionales, haciendo que los entrenamientos sean accesibles para las personas y sostenibles para el planeta.

There's a big emphasis on collaborating professionally, pushing design boundaries, and questioning societal norms to drive meaningful change. Being in Scandinavia with a strong international focus and incredible facilities, we’re given a platform to explore remote areas of design. Whether it’s social activism or experimenting with new materials, the school encourages us to develop our creativity and individuality to make an impact both within and beyond the design world.

Ondrej Ferianec
My name is Ondrej Ferianec, a designer from Slovakia currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Industrial Design at Lund University. Growing up in a family of engineers and doctors, choosing a creative profession was unconventional. Finding my identity as a creative individual interested in sustainability involved overcoming challenges, defying expectations, and seeking acceptance within my surroundings. Despite my disagreement with the strict rational lifestyle, I naturally developed a logical approach and problem-solving skills, which later proved beneficial in my design career.
