The world needs change—more sustainability, stronger communities, and a better life for all. That’s why design isn’t just about creating something new; it’s also about improving what already is there, making it more beautiful, functional, playful, and appealing. It’s about listening to people’s needs and involving them in creating future solutions. At Kolding School of Design, creative people from all over the world come together to do just that—through craftsmanship, artistic expression, and research. The teaching is based on practical experience, the latest knowledge, and close collaboration with the outside world.

This exhibition brings together a new generation of designers working across education, research, and collaboration. In a world shaped by overproduction and climate change, they shift from more to meaningful—focusing on lasting value over surface. Grounded in real needs, materials, and questions, their projects show how design can contribute to society and industry—offering thoughtful responses rather than fixed answers. Moving between solutions and open explorations, they are shaped by curiosity, care, and responsibility. Look closer. Ask questions. Be present. This is where change begins.

Objects May Vary is an cross–disciplinary collaborative exhibition platform dedicated to experimental design . It invites independent and emerging designers to respond to a single object typology, using it as a starting point rather than a fixed brief. The platform is founded on the belief that typologies are not limitations but generative frameworks: recurring forms that, when questioned, open space for new ideas, materials, and approaches.
