Ukurant celebrates experimental approaches to craft, material and tradition, offering young designers a platform and spotlight to present their work and push the boundaries of the established design scene. Whether it is in unconventional ways or in tribute to past generations, Ukurant presents new perspectives in the world of design and showcases prospective design by emerging talents.
At its core, Ukurant is a project initiated to actively address the structures, challenges, and future of the design industry. For the 2024 exhibition, Ukurant calls attention to the crucial and sometimes vulnerable theme; economics. Ukurant aims to raise awareness and foster conversations about how young designers can establish economically sustainable practices — pricing their work, time, and skills. Equally important is how the industry can support a new generation of designers in the beginning of their career.
