DesignXCommons / Master of Arts Atlas #01

DesignXCommons. Master of Arts Atlas #01 is an exhibition showcasing the thesis projects of the first thirty-two graduates from the MA programs in Interior Design, Product Design, and Visual Communication at IED.

Flatwig Studio designed the exhibition around a simple, modular display system capable of accommodating thirty-one individual thesis projects within a coherent spatial framework. A lightweight structure of aluminium profiles forms a series of perimeter tables and a central platform, rationally organizing the exhibition into clearly defined presentation areas.

Each display combines tabletop surfaces, coconut-fibre-clad bases, perforated metal panels, and integrated monitors. The perforated panels allow students to arrange editorial materials, research, drawings, and images in both structured and intuitive ways, while the screens provide space for multimedia content.

The result is a homogeneous exhibition setting that establishes a consistent visual identity while allowing each thesis project to express its own character and narrative.
