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 we already have, making it more beautiful, functional, playful, and appealing. It’s about listening to people’s needs and involving them in creating the solutions of the future. 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 IS KOLDING SCHOOL OF DESIGN — How do you transform talent into designers, materials into innovation, questions into solutions, and playfulness into insights? This exhibition offers a unique insight into the design process, showcasing how students, researchers, and educators develop their understanding of materials and storytelling skills. Experience how they push tools to the limit, invent new techniques, and play their way to solutions. The scenography and interior all come from the recently renovated school, where tomorrow’s designers are shaped. Each object in the exhibition is the result of experimentation, collaboration, and a deep understanding of materials — from bachelor’s to PhD. Visit Kolding School of Design at 3daysofdesign.
