New affiliate professors
at Design School Kolding
The affiliate professors compose a strong team of leading design forces that will further strengthen the school. Design School Kolding students have an exciting school year ahead of them when as much as seven inaugural lectures by leading designers will ”spice up” their timetable. The designers have been appointed affiliate professors to Design School Kolding, and with their professional backgrounds and their integrity they will help strengthen and enrich the school and its design professional development.
- We are proud to be able to appoint such talented and acknowledged designers. We look forward to being able to deepen the interplay between design research and design practice and not least the training which we offer. The seven designers will serve as excellent inspirators and discussion partners, says Head of Reaseach, Irene Alma Lønne.
