With international top names Silvano Arnoldo and Brad Carlton Sisk from the global fashion and theatre scene – and world-class materials from Lineapelle and Orsoni Venezia 1888 – students from Accessory Design, Fashion Design and Textile Design have explored how historical narratives and materials can inspire contemporary design. The result: sustainable interpretations of Baroque opulence.

A collaboration that doesn’t just develop design, but the next generation of talent – and takes students all the way to Milan and Venice Fashion Week.

With a new intelligent brick that can sense movement and respond with light and sound, LEGO aims to create a new kind of play experience where technology supports – rather than replaces – play. According to Helle Marie Skovbjerg, Professor and Play Researcher at Kolding School of Design, the new brick shows precisely how the play of the future can emerge through a balanced interaction between the physical, the digital and a conscious design responsibility.

From 25 to 27 January, students from Kolding School of Design will be exhibiting at Formland. The fair is one of the largest in the Nordic region within interiors, design and lifestyle, bringing together brands, buyers and industry professionals.

At the Kolding School of Design stand, you can experience bachelor projects from first to third year, offering insight into design as a process – from research and form experiments to finished solutions. The projects are organised around the themes of materials, form and construction, and point to how future designers work with resources, production and quality.

If you’re at Formland, drop by and have a chat with us about the role of design in society – now and in the future.

Opening hours:
25 January 9.00–18.00
26 January 9.00–18.00
27 January 9.00–17.00

Messecenter Herning, Vardevej 1, 7400 Herning
