Pim Smit (1997) was born and raised in Sint-Oedenrode. He graduated from Eindhoven University of Technology in 2018, with a bachelor's degree in Industrial Design. This study trained him as a conceptual thinker and functional product designer. His speciality is developing concepts into a tangible product. When designing, he focuses on functionality and durability, to create a bond between product and user. When that bond is there, the product is appreciated more, and therefore less discarded. 

Sarah Roseman is a Canadian designer and graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2021. She is passionate about creating a more beautiful world through materiality and works on the boundary of textile and object. Through her playful and imaginative pieces, she aims to evoke a sense of joy. She is radical in her material choices to achieve sustainability through unique processes and new materials. As a designer and material researcher she creates material archives which lead to the creation of unique objects or to be used as industry alternatives. She will be working at a Italian manufacturer and design a chair from scratch for the Zuiver collection.
