Two IED Barcelona projects among the winners of the 2024 Francesco Morelli Grant

Date

04 April 2025

In total, the Foundation selected seven ideas based on their design, creative, and entrepreneurial potential

The 'Amuza' play system for Generation Alpha by Lucienne de Waal (Product Design) and the ‘Re’Nolur’ cashmere clothing brand by Uuganzaya Davaasambuu (Master in Fashion Creative Direction), both IED Barcelona alumni, have each been awarded one of the seven scholarships granted by the Francesco Morelli Foundation for the best thesis projects by IED graduates.

The Francesco Morelli Grant offers a financial contribution that aims to promote and accompany the development of young talent through specialised training and support for customised projects.

In the case of ‘Amuza’ and ‘Re’Nolur’, the Evaluation Committee for these grants selected both projects due to their vision, concreteness, and ability to respond innovatively to current challenges.

The programme will kick off with a launch meeting on 15 April.
