Regardless of age, career or gender, no one should walk about on sore feet. My passion for this task stems not from the table as a piece of furniture, but the interaction that happens by and around the table.

invokes the neon letters inside the 33-metre long exhibition, made up of seven bespoke containers. In each container, a De-sign School Kolding alumna, working closely with six leading Danish design companies, puts forward their personal interpretation of a conversation piece; namely the table.

The duo Kvist Industries and Sidsel Søgaard Spas channels the peculiar aesthetic of wood knots in a challenge to popular consumer opinion that wood tables ought not to show branch artefacts.

Camilla Skøtt, with Forbo Flooring, breathes new life into a dying craft us-ing new techniques and materials. She has created a table by lacing it using the natural material linoleum, supplied by the company. The interpretations run the gamut.

A dramatic, fur-swathed skeleton is the centrepiece of the cooperation between KiCK-Kopenhagen Fur and Solveig Stilling.

Working with Danish Horticulture, designer Stine Weigelt has created ‘Tipping Point’, a table that can turn off-balance by moving the green plant that is a microscopic illustration of a vulnerable ecosystem.

Ecco and Ditte Blohm invite you on an interactive journey of the consciousness.

Carl Emil Jacobsen and Daniel Kowal-Andersen’s careful choice of materials and craftsmanship makes every piece of their Due North furniture convey an individual story permeated by a ‘Nordic Spirit’.

Finally, With the “Unite” table Anne Halskov has illustrated the encounter between the raw material – the newly fledged designers – and the estab-lished companies.

THE TUBE

For the fourth consecutive year, Design School Kolding presents

The Tube exhibition.

The Tube is the result of a unique col-laboration between talented designers from Design School Kolding and leading Danish companies. The Tube shares knowledge beyond the tight parameters that form common perceptions of design, demonstrating the importance of ongoing collabora-tions between designers and industry. It matches freshly graduated designers with companies supporting the project with their resources, skills and expertise.

11

Taking part in The Tube presents designers with a unique opportunity to use their competencies as part of a professional relationship. It also repre-sents an appeal for companies to enter small-scale collaborations with young talented designers.The Tube consists of specially made containers each comprising a new product, an installation or an experi-ence, which holds artistic dimensions and commercial potential.

In collaboration with Kvist Industries and Design School Kolding, I have created a platform – a war room - for conversation. I have facilitated a space that kindly invites you to join in a serious discourse about future design, designers and materiality. The core of the room is the Table for Conversation. The materiality and tactility of the table exploits the full potential of its material – oak wood. The Table for Conver-sation represents a material dialogue between perfection and imperfection – an expression of diversity, beauty and possibility. One side of the material is smooth and neat, the other rough and unfinished. This is what design can do – cover every extreme, from one end of the scale to the other, including everything in between. The two sides of the table – the two material extremes – are connected by a space for just this everything in between. This holds the collection of speculative Conversation Starters that in the glare of the neon

15

lights kindly invite the visitor to engage in conversation, taking as their starting point reflections upon the future of de-sign, interpreted and communicated by students of Design School Kolding. The distorted grid covering wall and ceiling interferes with the perception of space, and kindly implies that the visitor dares think outside the box – the container – thus facilitating the conversation.

is a war room for conversation. A story about a material – oak - that represents Kvist Industries and establishes their ability to interpret and process the wood from its natural form into a refined piece of furniture. The table also represents the talent development at Design School Kolding. Metaphorically speaking, the students are the material - rough and unpolished talents who transform into experienced, insightful, artistic designers.

19

Furthermore, the table embraces and incorporates student created con-versation starters made to encourage dialogue about contemporary and future design.

LACEMAKING TECHNOLOGY

Is it still possible to integrate some of those qualities which excellent artisanship brings to design - immer-sion, dedication and thoughtfulness - when industrialisation has muscled away traditional artisanship? Through my collaboration with Forbo Flooring, I have attempted to answer this ques-tion and have decorated my container with pattern-cut linoleum. Based in the intersecting fields of traditional artisanship and modern technology, I have combined traditional bobbin lace with a special aqua jet technology and come up with a unique cutting method for Forbo Flooring. Where the bobbin lace represents artisanship, immersion, dedication and thoughtfulness, the aqua jet symbolises speed, efficiency and mass combination. My installation is a comment on the lack of space for traditional artisanship in the design world. Spectators are free to interpret the comment.

MEAT ON THE TABLE

Wild, meat, blood, fur, tanning, humans, chain mail, ornament. Words of the Viking and my take-off for designing a table in collaboration with KiCK-Ko-penhagen Fur. I have transformed the idea of a Viking table into a modern edition by using contradistinctions to the Viking way of the wild. I want the transformation to express purity and make the beholder curious and wonder – with a desire to explore further. I want meat on the table to visualize the basic terms for Viking survival. Meat on the table satisfied their hunger. Meat on the table gave them clothing and kept them warm. Meat on the table gave them material for beautiful jewellery.

TIPPING POINT

Is it possible to re-establish the bal-ance of our global ecosystem or did we tip over the edge long ago?

In cooperation with Danish Horticul-ture, I have created an installation that explores the concept of balance. The installation comments on imbalances in nature’s ecosystems and invites the beholder to challenge the fact of man-made equilibrium. With organic mint as the ambassador of nature, the instal-lation stages the changes taking place in the environment. “Tipping Point” is a “light” installation on global climate change and resource distribution and inspired by the similar scientific term. It utilizes the plant as a symbol of Earth’s resources and fragile life.

WALK WITH ME

A room of senses that visualizes what no one sees: interaction. When I first started working on my project with ECCO, I realised that the company has a wide target audience and adapts their production of shoes to fit the individual. My design focuses on individuals and the varying impressions they experi-ence when entering the room.

The 14 circular lights function as a graph model that reflects intimacy and audience participation. The rings of light activate when two participants put on the headsets and manage to stay in the moment at the same time. This happens when different parts of the brain activate and nerve impulses transform into rings of light through the headsets. The more you concentrate and focus, the more lights you will turn on.

COMPANY

ECCO

A world leading brand of shoes com-bining style and comfort that has built its success on quality and innovative technology. Founded in 1963, ECCO is the only major shoe manufactur-er in the world to own and manage every step of the shoemaking process. Today, ECCO products are enjoyed in 91 countries and sold at 1,100 ECCO stores and 14,000 other sales locations. The company is family-owned and the workplace of 19,500 employees in over 50 countries.

DUE NORTH

We have a passion for the diversity and sincerity of materials and cherish craftsmanship just as we believe that quality and responsible design never goes out of style. We are open to new things and turn our acquired knowledge into tangible design solutions.

With Due North we set out to encap-sulate the aesthetic essence of what characterizes the Nordic countries and Scandinavia especially, and we believe our design captures a unique ’Nordic Spirit’ and combines functionality with a deep aesthetic sensuousness.

UNITE

As a designer you have to collaborate with all kinds of people and professions. This is no easy task and it requires effort, understanding and setting up common goals. New graduates are not necessarily distinct and complete. Yet in collab-oration with other professionals and companies, they get one step closer to becoming just that.This installation is a visualization of how the raw material of Design School Kold-ing (its designers) can collaborate with companies and create new, unique and usable objects, functions and solutions.

With the “Unite” table I have illustrat-ed the encounter between the raw material – the newly fledged design-ers – and the established companies. There is a risk the two sides might clash but mostly the partnerships result in transcendent designs.

63

Due to its form, the project invites you to interact with the installation.Ambiente took a chance by collaborat-ing with me. They were willing to help soften, refine and define the edges of a newly fledged designer.

THE DNA OF DESIGN SCHOOL KOLDING

Meaningful design, sense experienc-es, experimentation and collaboration

with the business community are some of Design School Kolding’s

watchwords.

We base our student intake solely on talent, which sets us apart from other universities. We develop, cherish and challenge talent by teaching stu-dents to reflect on their own progress and promoting cooperation through projects drawn from a specific user context – often in collaboration with the business community.This also provides a framework for a number of recognised researchers in a young field of knowledge as well as an increasing output of PhD projects. At the same time, we know the impor-tance of putting design into practice and therefore prioritise good workshop facilities where students can work with their material on a 1:1 scale. It is im-portant to the school that its in-house teachers practice what they teach and make use of a large number of guest professors to ensure inspiration from external professional sources.

69

Design School Kolding builds on the great heritage of meaningful Danish design. We believe that innovation comes from relating design to history and tradition. The school’s approach is not to provide the answer, but to find the answer together.The programme is an international talent workshop for Danish design. We work at eye level, believe in equality and respect diversity.
