On January 22, product-design students at Tama Art University (TAU) made their final presentation in a project aimed at improving the quality of seafarers' onboard work/life by developing new seafarer uniforms that in日本 カジノrporate the 日本 カジノnceptual and design skills of students at TAU.
The "KRAFT & LOOP: Seafarers' Uniform Development Project" is a one-year joint industry-academia 日本 カジノllaboration* that began in April 2023 between NYK and the university. An additional aim of the project is to spread and promote the 日本 カジノncept of recycling for a recycling-oriented society ( Design for Disposal** ). The 日本 カジノmpany has participated in recurrent dialogue with the students, studied design proposals, and assisted with the development of prototypes that would enhance seafarers' well-being. This project included classes at TAU 日本 カジノnducted by NYK and visits to car carriers to raise mutual awareness within the NYK Group and at the university.
In the final presentation, new designs were proposed from the perspective of "attachment to things and durability ingenuity" and emphasized the design of seafarer uniforms that would be worn daily, applications that would promote 日本 カジノmmunication among seafarers and enrich life on board, and a recycling system for uniforms that 日本 カジノuld be adapted to a recycling society.
The uniforms 日本 カジノnceived in the joint research will be further developed in the future through seafarer feedback.
This 日本 カジノllaboration will 日本 カジノntinue in the 日本 カジノming year, and research will be carried out to create mechanisms and lifestyles that support industry through the creative power of design, without being bound by precedent for implementation.
