FLOWTER: the second life of water sports equipment
This project has been selected as part of Design L'Expo 2023 and will be exhibited at La Cale 2 Créateurs from 24th January 2024 to 10th March 2024.
"To successfully complete this project, Joanna Iskander analyzed all existing coastal spaces and met with numerous users. "
"Practiced in their natural environment, board sports are currently falling victim to climate change. Sports enthusiasts themselves are contributing to this disruption by using equipment that degrades local biodiversity. What a paradox!
To successfully complete this project, Joanna Iskander analyzed all existing coastal spaces and met with numerous users. She has come up with a relevant and constructive solution that puts people at the heart of the process. Instead of proposing a technical solution, she suggests a new way forward: a second life for these products." Bastien Perdriault, Course Leasder for the Care Design Master’s program
