Ascent was designed in the EPOP Studio. Annually, EPOP aims to develop innovative, user-centric, and environmentally conscious concepts and turn them into feasible, ready-to-launch, and manufacturable products. This is accomplished by combining collaborative product development principles and sustainable design to advance our knowledge of the product design process while creating a tangible product for a popular local market.
