W Pracowni Designu Eksperymentalnego gdańskiej ASP biżuteria jest traktowana jak każdy inny przedmiot użytkowy: trzeba przemyśleć jej formę, materiał, technologię wykonania i relację z użytkownikiem. Efekty tej pracy można zobaczyć na wystawie „Projektujemy biżuterię” w Galerii Międzynarodowego Stowarzyszenia Bursztynników w Gdańsku.
