A new generation of designers is choosing meaning over more

With the exhibition Moments of Meaning at 3daysofdesign, Kolding School of Design offers a rare insight into how the next generation of designers is working with resources, production, and human needs. Visitors will encounter projects that explore new ways of creating, producing, and thinking about design in a world shaped by overproduction and constant change.
By Marianne Baggesen Hilger

The exhibition showcases not only finished outcomes, but also the work behind them: prototypes, material experiments, and projects at different stages and scales. Here, questions become investigations, and ideas are transformed into tangible responses through hands-on exploration, materials, and close engagement with users and contexts.

These emerging designers are choosing meaning over more. Rather than presenting a single definitive answer, the projects point towards alternative ways of understanding value, resources, and production, offering fresh perspectives on how design can contribute to both business and everyday life.

The exhibition design reinforces this approach through a focus on materials and elements in motion. Together, the projects and the space create an experience that brings visitors closer to the design process and to the reflections, uncertainties, and experiments that drive it forward.
