Dignity Design
Dignity Design is a collaborative platform and movement exploring how design can restore dignity in vulnerable stages of life through design. Founded by Danish designer Anker Bak and strategist Jonas Sølberg, it brings together design, care, and human experience. It rethinks how products, spaces, and systems shape moments of transition, proposing a new paradigm where care, tactility, and emotional awareness are central to everyday life.
The Design We Hide Away is an exhibition about design, aesthetics and rituals in life’s vulnerable situations. It explores how design can create more dignity in moments shaped by ageing, illness, loss or dependency. Visitors walk through a nine point manifesto for a new design movement. Along the way, assistive objects, furniture and rituals are brought into a new light, where function, beauty and human experience belong together. At the centre is a new ritual object for the home: a shelf where invited participants curate fragments of life, giving form to what matters and continues to shape them. The exhibition is presented by Dignity Design and Anker Bak Studio together with Karimoku (JP), OneCollection (DK) and Fredahl Rydéns (SE).
