VIA Design & Business is one of the largest design and business academies in the Nordic region, with more than 1.100 students in the fashion, furniture, and lifestyle industries. With campuses in Herning and Aarhus, VIA Design & Business covers a wide range of specialisations. The intersection of design and business is a unique part of the DNA, and cross–disciplinary collaboration gives students an in–depth understanding of companies’ value chains. The main focus is to contribute to the green transition.

VIA Design & Business presents a curated exhibition featuring current students and last year’s graduates. The themes include innovation, function, material experimentation, responsible production, and, of course, form. The exhibition showcases a wide variety of what engages design students in 2025. Several of these designs have been developed in collaboration with companies. This type of collaboration is a key focus of the program.

Kvik has been creating Danish design kitchens, baths and wardrobes at surprisingly low prices since 1983. In 2024, Kvik Living, a line of Danish design furniture, lighting and accessories that are the perfect companion to their kitchens, was launched. Kvik introduced The Sociable Kitchen® (Samtalekøkken®) in 1998 and made their mark on life in the kitchen. The philosophy behind it is simple — a space where the kitchen is the living heart of the home. Everyone has the right to a beautiful, Danish design kitchen and sustainability is for everyone. Every Kvik kitchen comes with a calculation that tells customers how much recycled wood and how many recycled plastic bottles were used to make it and the CO2e footprint of their kitchen.
