Ciao! I'm Anselmo, 22 years old and originally from sunny Italy.\nSport is a big part of my life\u2014whether it's running, cycling, or climbing. Choosing Belgium was a deliberate decision for me: this specific course doesn't exist in Italy, and I really wanted to do something with product design. I see myself as someone who is always looking for movement and challenge, and I bring that mindset into the design of ANO as well. I believe products should not only be functional, but also radiate a sense of energy and dynamism.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Hey, I'm Aurian, 22 years old and I'm from Charleroi.\nPhotography is my greatest passion. I see compositions, colors, and shapes everywhere. At ANO, I'm often the one working on visual presentation and storytelling. What attracted me to IPO was the combination of creativity and technology. I moved to Kortrijk because I couldn't find this program anywhere else in Belgium. For me, ANO is more than just a product \u2013 it's a story that people should feel when they see or use it.

I draw a lot of inspiration from nature and enjoy practical solutions with a playful touch.

Who are we?<\/strong><\/h1>

We are ANO, a young start-up born out of a school project, but by now much\u00a0more than that. What started as an assignment within our study programme Industrial<\/span>Product Design (IPO) at Howest Kortrijk, grew into an adventure full of testing,\u00a0<\/span>adjusting, dreaming and building. We are still in the middle of the process, because at this moment<\/span>we are working on the development of our product. Every day we gain new<\/span>insights, implement improvements and look for the best solutions.<\/span><\/p>

We are four third-year students who together were given the challenge to analyse and further develop an existing\u00a0product. The result? The ANO Hallway Bench:<\/span>a functional, adventurous and cleverly designed piece of furniture for active people like\u00a0<\/span>us – and like you.<\/span><\/p>

We put a lot of time and energy into it together. Not just because we have to, but because\u00a0we have faith in the product and the story behind it. It is not a quickly cobbled-together\u00a0<\/span>school project, but a concept in which we strive for sustainability,\u00a0<\/span>simplicity and affordability. We are constantly looking for smart solutions: materials\u00a0<\/span>that last, shapes that are efficient, a look that stays fresh and timeless.<\/span><\/p>

The place where ANO was created…<\/strong><\/h1>

The Industrial Product Design programme at Howest teaches us more than design. We\u00a0are trained to think creatively as well as technically, to design a product from A to Z with the end user in mind at<\/span>. From sketch to prototype, from\u00a0<\/span>research to production. IPO is for those who like to work with their hands as well as their head, and that is\u00a0<\/span>exactly who we are. Howest, and especially the campus in Kortrijk, is our base of operations <\/span>a hotbed of ideas, young creators and entrepreneurship.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
