Cell Furniture: Designs for Safety, Wellbeing and Sustainability

Funded by HM Prison and Probation Service, the project was exhibited at the Central Saint Martins degree show at King’s Cross. Staged around a purpose built prison cell, graduating 2019 BA (Hons) Product Design students exhibited their DACRC-led cell furniture designs. These new ranges of cell furniture are not only robust and sustainable but, through improved design, have features that can increase wellbeing for prisoners and prison staff. Experimental concepts were put forward that could potentially be manufactured in prison.
