Making the invisible visible
Sixth-semester students from the Toluca campus embarked on a design exploration centered on the theme “making the invisible visible.” Their work delved into aspects of life that often remain hidden silenced emotions, neglected relationships, harmful habits, and overlooked societal issues. Through a diverse range of proposals, the students developed sensory experiences, interactive objects, and contemplative concepts that invite reflection and encourage care for those intangible yet essential elements that shape our everyday lives.
FEM-SEAT
Lesly Yunuel González
FemSeat seeks to provide comfort and well-being for women, while also making gender considerations visible in the design of everyday tools and addressing the gender bias gap in product design.
FemSeat is a seat designed specifically for the anatomy of Mexican women. It solves the need for a market option that fits women’s ischial bones, since standard seats are typically designed according to male anatomy.
NIDO
Oscar Eduardo Domínguez
Nido is a compact accessory designed for mountain bikes. It mounts onto the frame and allows you to store personal items such as a phone, wallet, or keys. Its size also accommodates small snacks like energy bars, offering a practical solution that eliminates the need for backpacks or overstuffed pockets during the ride.

A modular bag for mountain biking, inspired by the protection and aesthetics of natural membranes.

GeoBike
Eily Jimena Martínez
GeoBike is a product designed for kids and teens who tend to misplace their belongings and seek greater protection for themselves and their gear.

PiklA
Lilia Victoria Orozco Camacho
Pikla offers a playful and neutral option that suits both girls and boys, encouraging the free and recreational use of bicycles. It also takes into account the real childhood experience—the way children play, explore, and move—which differs from that of adults and requires a design tailored specifically for them.
