STUDIO MAKR

Faire: Delft

Maker: Scott Gerrese

Home: Noord Brabant, Nederland

Studio Makr is een designlabel opgericht door Jay Rijs en Scott Gerrese tijdens hun studie Industrieel Product Ontwerpen aan de Hogeschool Rotterdam. Vanuit hun gedeelde passie voor interieur en design ontwikkelen zij interieurproducten met een vintage uitstraling, gecombineerd met moderne productietechnieken. Hun eerste product, de PhotoBar, is een massief eikenhouten balk waarin je met metalen balletjes eenvoudig foto’s en posters ophangt — een modulair systeem dat verhalen laat leven aan de muur. Tijdens hun afstuderen ontwikkelen ze ieder nu een nieuw product. Jay werkt aan een sfeerlamp die de magie van een eclipse nabootst met glazen schijven en slimme technieken. Scott ontwikkelt een 3D-geprinte betonnen wandkast waarin esthetiek, modulariteit en innovatie samenkomen. Studio Makr zoekt in elk ontwerp naar de balans tussen ambacht en technologie, met producten die verrassen, inspireren en een blijvende indruk achterlaten.

Echoes of Light and Sound: Illuminating Family Stories Presented by WanFu Elementary School

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Story Lamp Project — WanFu Elementary School (Taiwan)

Home: China

This exhibit is more than a display—it is a living makerspace of memory. Within each handcrafted story lamp, cut paper, glowing circuits, and recorded voices come together to hold stories of family, place, and time. Children and elders exchange memories that affirm identity, heal loneliness, and reveal the threads that bind us across generations. Rooted in STEAM and community practice, the Story Lamp Project carries a mission larger than art alone. It asks how we remember, how we belong, and how creativity can sustain us as a shared human family. In this space, light becomes both language and legacy, a gentle bridge between past and future. Here, storytelling is not bound by age, race, or culture. Each lamp becomes a vessel of history and emotion, illuminating the possibility of a more compassionate world—where making is not only about creating objects, but about creating bonds.
