Irmandy Wicaksono, a PhD student in the Responsive Environments group, has been chosen as one of six finalists in this year's Lexus Design Award for his submission KnitX: "Digital 3-D knitting of functional, electronic textiles for multi-modal visual, auditory, and tactile material interaction."

"This year marks the ninth edition of the Lexus Design Award, which was established to support up-and-coming creators. The program recognizes fresh design talent and showcases their innovations on a prominent and respected international platform. In selecting this year's six finalists, judges looked for innovative ideas that embodied the three key principles of the Lexus brand―Anticipate, Innovate, and Captivate―with an emphasis on design that leads to a better tomorrow."
