Welcome to explore what's growin' at and from Konstfack during Stockholm Design Days
Visit us at four different locations across the city during 3–7 February. Future food chains, animations, typography, vegetation in the public realm, design focused on empathy, craft not behaving and explorations in clay.
At Konstfack Telefonplan
Will there be food in 2060? Students from the Master’s programme Design Ecologies present prototypes of future agricultural value chains, conceived to safeguard food security in a world where a 3 degree increase in global average temperature or more has become reality. This location also showcases the latest work by students in Graphic Design and Illustration, spanning publications, typography and animation, including a collaboration with Birzeit University.
Open 4–7 February, Mon-Fri 10–16.30, Saturday 12–16. Animerat samarbete och fortsatt tillgång på mat 2060
At Sergels torg
In the very heart of Stockholm, students of Textile Design and Industrial Design present the outcomes of a project exploring how a place and its visitors can be influenced visually, artistically and through construction techniques. The work is centred on the theme of vegetation, and you can expect, among other things, a root system, a gigantic silverfish, a pea pod, and a chameleon.
Open 4–7 February, Monday to Friday 12–17, Saturday 12–16.
At Etage1, Rosenlundsgatan 40
The exhibition “Write Me!” explores how furniture and spatial design can be shaped for the people who will inhabit the prisons of the future due to the extensive expansion of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service, a context that demands both innovative thinking and a strong sense of empathy. Industrial design students at Konstfack, together with the SPPS and Nola show how design can contribute to wellbeing in environments where security is the primary focus. Student presentation on 3 February at 4 pm. Design för empati och säkerhet under Stockholm Design Days
"The Craft Edit", also at Etage1, poses the question "what happens when craft stops behaving and starts to talk back?" A group exhibition with works by students from Konstfack’s Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes in Ceramics and Glass, where craft represents the contemporary. Clay and glass are not merely materials; they are methods for testing risk, challenging conventions, and pushing the boundaries of what craft and material can be. The Craft Edit – keramik och glas-utställning under Stockholm Design Days - Konstfack
Both exhibitions are open 3–5 February, at 9–17.
At Moderna Dansteatern in Skeppsholmen
Clay City – an exploration of clay by graduating students in Interior Architecture and Furniture Design takes place as part of the joint project Process Material Craft, developed in collaboration with Stockholm’s two other leading design institutions, Beckmans and Malmstens.
