Description:	Peer-reviewed conference paper (Best Paper Award), International Association of Societies of Design Research Congress (IASDR) 2025. This paper presents findings from Phase 1 of an empirical case study investigating object-based learning (OBL) in undergraduate and postgraduate Design Management at LCC, UAL. Through the use of artefacts (drinking vessels), the research examines how sensory engagement with objects supports student learning and critical reflection on eco-social justice, contributing new insights into the role of artefacts in integrating ecological sustainability and social equity within design education.
