WORKS Kolding

With WORKS Kolding, we celebrate the newly graduated bachelors and master's from Design School Kolding in their own environment.

When more than 100 new designers graduate from Design School Kolding this year, you will be able to experience the traditional graduation exhibition in new ways and at different venues in both Kolding and Copenhagen. We kickstart the programme with WORKS Kolding.

Come and experience their brand new projects in an informal and inspiring exhibition, staffed by the designers themselves at Design School Kolding's temporary address at Dyrehavevej 116 in Kolding.

The graduation projects are the designers' entry ticket to working life and show new ways of interacting, producing and recycling.

The exhibition brings together designers from the subject areas Accessory Design, Fashion Design, Industrial Design, Communication Design and Textile Design, as well as the three focus areas and Master's programmes, Design for People, Design for Planet and Design for Play. 

The new designers will receive their diplomas on Friday 30 June. During the day of the graduation ceremony, the exhibition will be open to family, friends and collaboration partners.

The exhibition will be open to the public on Saturday, 1 July and Sunday, 2 July between 11 AM and 4 PM at Design School Kolding, Dyrehavevej 116, 6000 Kolding.

About the Graduation Show programme 
From June to December 2023, Design School Kolding will showcase all the graduating designers' projects to the world through exhibitions, events, and extensive communication efforts, creating connections with the industry, potential employers, and collaborators.

An online catalogue featuring projects and designers will be released on Instagram. The catalogue will be launched continuously from mid-June.
