Anna Lampinen from the Lahti Institute of Design set out for an expedition to consider welder’s protective wear along with Hannu Saarivirta, welding expert at Kemppi. A look into the future of welder’s protective equipment In the autumn of 2007, Kemppi invited a group of students from the Institute of Design of the Lahti University of Applied Sciences to participate in a project on protective equipment for welders. The project involved taking an interesting glimpse into the future. What could a welder’s protective equipment look like in, say, 10 years? Welding equipment manufacturer Kemppi Oy was joined by the Institute of Design of the Lahti University of Applied Sciences, one of the most respected educational institutions providing design education in Finland, to come up with ideas for the future of the development of protective equipment for welders. The idea for the The diff erences between collaborative project men’s and women’s body of these two wellknown and specialised movement and places of organisations from perspiration came as a Lahti was introduced surprise to the guys. by Kemppi. The objective was that design students with open-mindedness as their strength would co-operate to fi nd new and innovative ideas for improving the safety and comfort of welders’ work and, consequently, to decrease interruptions in welding. ‘The purpose of the project was not to develop new products but mostly to explore the needs of customers as regards protective equipment, as well as to get some fresh perspectives in order to prevent stagnation in thinking,’ says Jarkko Havia, the designer at Kemppi who was the manager for the project. ‘Naturally, we also wanted to give the students an opportunity to see what kinds of design challenges they may ►►► DESIGN Students studying fashion design and industrial design getting familiar with welder’s protective equipment.
