Borgo Contract Seating Presents: The Humber Industrial Design Chair Show

Please join us for the 2025 Humber Polytechnic Industrial Design Chair Show! This year’s design concept is “a more sustainable future”. In partnership with Plastic Flux, the students have integrated Plastic Flux’s recycled polypropylene sheets into their designs as seating and tablet elements. The chair frames are made of mild steel, so together with the Plastic Flux material, the chair designs are over 90 per cent recyclable.

The 2025 Chair Show is presented by Borgo Contract Seating who without their help and guidance the project would not be possible. We also owe a debt of gratitude to Manortools Ltd. who assisted the students with the metal tube bending. Thank you to Faculty of Media, Creative Arts, and Design Associate Dean, Jenny Charlotte-Hill for her continued support of the project. Also a special thanks to Nienkamper, Copernicus Educational Products, Handling Space, and Anony for their generous support of the Chair Show.

We look forward to seeing you on March 20.

Admission: Free and open to the public
Faculty contact: odin.cappello@humber.ca

Additional info:

The Chair Show is the public exhibition of the Industrial Design 2nd year studio chair project. It is also a design competition judged by a panel of noteworthy local design professionals from companies such as Nienkamper, Borgo, Copernicus, and more. The four winning designs (first, second, third and people’s choice) will be announced during the evening of the show. The Chair Show is attended by over 100 people each year, including design professionals, industry insiders, students, family and friends. Interviews, photo and video opportunities will be available. The show is open to the public and admission is free.

When EDI Principles Meet the Field of Science and Engineering: The Case of Research and Development Projects in the Environment at CTRI

While equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) principles play a crucial role in research project design and management, they are often more readily applied in humanities and social innovation projects. But how can these principles be effectively integrated into research and development in science and engineering? This workshop will explore EDI practices at the Centre technologique des résidus industriels (CTRI) at Cégep de l’Abitibi-Témiscamingue. Through concrete examples from the centre’s management model and environmental research projects, participants will gain insights into practical applications of EDI in STEM fields. A Q&A session will then provide an opportunity to delve deeper into these practices, followed by small group discussions where participants can reflect on and share strategies for strengthening EDI in their own work.
