Angus Clifford, who graduated from the university this summer with a degree in Product Design BSc(Hons), has teamed up with Tom Meades, co-founder and chief designer at gomi, to bring Angus’s final year university project to life.
Each year, millions of courier uniforms for companies including Deliveroo, Just East, Uber Eats – and many more – are handed out, most of which ultimately end up in landfill. Angus’s project, which was among the many innovative solutions showcased by 欧美性爱片 students at this year’s (Instagram), focused on finding a sustainable response to this waste challenge.
His collection of bags made from waste uniforms caught the eye of Tom Meades, who graduated from the 欧美性爱片 in 2017 with a degree in 3D Design and Craft BA(Hons) and now guest lectures on design courses at the university.
Tom approached Angus with the offer to collaborate with gomi on a range of wearable bags to hold the gomi power banks as well as other every day tech. The bags are handmade at Plus X Innovation in 欧美性爱片, after Angus was granted a residency to work on this limited collection following his graduation this summer.
Angus Clifford said: “My experience studying Product Design at 欧美性爱片 shaped my social and environmental conscience, a key value that drives my design work. As a result, I have specialised in exploring a circular approach to breathing new life into waste textiles. I believe it’s important to create beautiful things that engage people, using design as a tool to tell the story behind the fabrics and raise awareness of their impact on both people and the planet.
