Jean Munck's and Laura Hietala's design work was on display at 2020's Helsinki Design Week. The design work was a part of the ‘’Design for a Cooler Planet’’ exhibition held at Aalto University, in Väre. The exhibition highlighted work by students that furthers the development of more sustainable solutions of everyday problems.
Last spring, Munck and Hietala designed an electrical boat that is meant to be a quiet and comfortable way to traverse the archipelago. During the project they worked with Skand, a company that specializes in electrical vehicles. The goal was to create a modular interior system that would suit multiple user groups as well as be easily accessible for anyone. They also created a roof system that incorporates solar panels which charge the onboard batteries, as well as give power to the navigation system and USB charging points. The display consisted of a 1/5 scale model of the boat and a 1/1 scale prototype of a seat.
