30th Annual ReMade: Circularity

The Western Washington University Industrial Design program returns with its 30th annual ReMade exhibition, opening May 30th at Ideal in downtown Bellingham. Founded in 1995 by Professor Arūnas Ošlapas, ReMade challenges 12 junior-level students to transform discarded materials into market-ready products—moving from concept to storefront in just eight weeks.

Ideal, a Bellingham shop focused on good design, has partnered with our Junior Industrial Design Studio since 2009 to host this community-favorite event. Stop by, Friday, May 30th from 6–9 p.m., to meet the designers and take home a piece of sustainable innovation.

This year’s theme, Circularity, explores how products can be designed for disassembly, recyclability, and material recovery. Expect a vibrant mix of home goods, fitness gear, and playful decor—each crafted from reclaimed materials and accompanied by student-designed packaging and branding.
