The Laboratory for Sustainability and Design
Sustainability and the active engagement with green transitions are pivotal for design and design education today, both when it comes to re-thinking product-service-systems, to re-imagining sustainable modes of consumption and use and to re-doing value chains and circular economies.
Design makes green transitions tangible through exploring materials, providing prototypes and facillitating networked entrepreneurship that brings together multiple stakeholders and nurtures competencies of sustainable living.
The Lab for Sustainability and Design conducts design research and artistic development work that strengthens the design contribution to green transitions through collaborations with industry, public institutions and civic initiatives.
Together we can learn more about sustainbility
For 20 years Design School Kolding has been exploring how design thinking can drive sustainability forward. Our knowledge is closely linked to practice and carried by expereinces through practice and theory; a foundation of unique competences within education, development and research in design.
At Design School Kolding we strongly believe that our knowledge should benefit not only our students but also society at large. That the business community, public authorities and others should be able to experience the creative and innovative potential that a collaboration between a designer and a company holds.
We continue to build this knowledge by working with various knowledge partners, including research institutions, local governments, organisations and companies.
We are always looking for new collaborations that can challenge our shared knowledge and current approaches and allow us to accelerate and support knowledge and innovation in sustainability through strategic design approaches.
