Tecnun, School of Engineering, visits ENEA
Tecnun, the Higher School of Industrial Engineers of the University of Navarra in San Sebastián, visits ENEA.
A few days ago, a group of students of the Degree in Engineering in Industrial Design and Product Development of Tecnun, the Higher School of Industrial Engineers of the University of Navarra in San Sebastian, visited ENEA. A visit organized by Professor Carlos Alonso Pascual, architect and designer, with the aim of showing the design and industrialization of the furniture that is manufactured in ENEA.
With this activity, the University aims to approach the students of the Design Workshop to an industrial project such as ENEA, oriented to the equipment of collective facilities and residential spaces.
The activity began with a presentation of ENEA as a manufacturer of design furniture, its beginnings and evolution. It was also explained what the design and manufacture of furniture for a residential or a hotel space implies, the importance of knowing the market, as well as the regulations and the necessity to guarantee the manufacturing processes to obtain a successful product.
With the use of renders and models of Kaiak, one of the last proposals of furniture for residential, hospitality and soft office areas that we are jointly developing with Estudi Manel Molina, and which was recently presented at the Salone del Mobile of Milan, the students understood the importance of the choice of shapes and ergonomics of a seat, the materials, the production process, as well as its final distribution.
The visit ended with a tour through ENEA’s facilities, where the students were explained step by step the process of manufacturing our seats, tables and decor accessories for collective and residential spaces.
