It’s made of clay, mixed with organic material and fired in a way which increases its porosity by a manyfold. Stemming from material experimentation, the process of form exploration began with the help of generative design and 3D clay printing technology. The goal was to generate forms that would act as scaffolding for the water, enable and improve water permeability and enable water movement and its upwards directed flow. To take advantage of hydraulic pressure under the surface, the underwater objects were designed to enable water absorption through the entire surface of the structure. To increase the permeability of water, the filter was designed by incorporation of the gyroid minimal surface, which can also be observed in beetle shells and the paths of a butterfly’s wings mid-flight. Furthermore, using this structure makes the objects statically reinforced. The flow of the water is used to turn the filters, which then transfers the water from a lower to a higher plane through an Archimedes screw. By using the flow of water to power the rotation of the filters, the device can be installed even in remote areas where there are no power connections.

She is currently working as a young researcher in the Visual Literacy program and an assistant lecturer at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design. Her practice combines design research, material development, and participatory approaches. In 2022 she co-founded the collective Pjorkkala with Žan Girandon and Luka Pleskovič, through which she develops projects addressing ecological and social issues. One of their most recognized projects is Dodola, a water filtration device developed to provide clean water in remote areas without electricity.The collective continues to explore sustainable design methods, from 3D clay printing to workshops and educational programs. She sees design as a tool for connecting disciplines and generating responses to urgent social and ecological challenges. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ︎ piagroleger@gmail.com &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; ︎ piagroleger education 2016 enrolled on Academy of Fine Arts and Design Ljubljana, Industrial design programme 2019 exchange on Academy Minerva in Groningen, Netherlands&nbsp; 2020 Bachelor’s degree in Industrial design 2020 enrolled on Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana, postgraduate industrial design programme 2023 Master’s degree in Industrial design 2025- enrolled on Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana, interdisciplinary doctoral programme awards 2021 3rd prize for Service design challenge by Philips 2021 1st prize for center Noordung space capsule competition 2022 national recognition for best wooden product by SPIRIT Slovenia 2022 Cumulus green honorable mention 2022 Distributed design award - Project excellence 2022 Zagreb design week 1st and 2nd prize in Social innovation category 2022 Zavod BIG perspektive award 2022 DOS Daljnogled award 2022 Prešeren student award 2023 Green project award nomenee 2023 New European Bauhaus finalist&nbsp; 2023 Made in Slovenia selection of design excellence 2023 1st round winner of the Young Balkan Designers Competition 2023 Certificate for the Best Academic Achievements by University of Ljubljana 2024 Winner of crQlr Award Japan 2024 1st prize reDiscover Award 2024 1st prize Glassberries Award 2024 2024 Designblok diploma selection nomenee 2025&nbsp;Prešeren student award for Master’s thesis exhibitions 2021 Futr za jutr at Barcelona design week 2021 the sound installation Voices of Koper at Tito square, Koper (with Denis Esakov, Altan Jurca Avci, Deja Kofol, Luka Pleskovič, Martin Valinger) 2021 grape pomace research at the 27th Annual Meeting of the Slovenian Chemical Society 2021 Futr za jutr at Dutch design week, Eindhoven 2022 Futr za jutr at Expo Dubai 2022 group exhibition at City Hall in Ljubljana 2022 T60 at Lightning Guerrilla festival (with Matic Čič, Žan Girandon, Vid Lebič, Luka Pleskovič and Jo Zornik) 2022 production platform for Biennial of design in Ljubljana (BIO27) with Pjorkkala 2022 Water filtration engine at the 4th Art Biennial in Tbilisi (with Floating university, Berlin) 2022 Dodola at Maker Faire Rome 2022 Tekej at Sejem Ambienti, Ljubljana 2022 DOS Daljnogled award exhibition at Cankarjev Dom 2023 Dodola at Young Talents Exhibition, Berlin design week 2023 Dodola at Unicum 2023 2023 Dodola and Futr za jutr&nbsp;Daljnogled award exhibition at Cankarjev Dom 2023 Dodola at Almanac exhibition at Fondation d’entreprise Martell, Cognac 2023 Kaduja at Triennial of Handcrafts and Crafts exhibition, Slovenj Gradec 2023 Dodola exhibition production at Stekleni atrij, Mestna hiša Ljubljana 2023 Kaduja at exhibition Young Balkan Designers: Here and Now, Belgrade 2023 Kaduja at exhibition Crafting futures, Museum of Architecture and Design, Ljubljana 2024 Kaduja at Triennial of Handcrafts and Crafts exhibition, Brežice 2024 Kaduja at reDiscover exhibition, Kranj and Budapest 2024 Re-harvested at ARCADE&nbsp;Design à la campagne, Sainte-Colombe 2024 Dodola at Base Milano, Milano design week 2024 Dodola and Kaduja at CASTLE → Concepts, Objects, Spaces exhibition,&nbsp;Musem of Architecture and Design, Ljubljana 2024 Dodola and Kaduja at Vienna Design Week 2024 Kaduja at Rog Design Days 2025 What do you do?
