Danish design is more than beautiful, exclusive products. We enrich a long democratic tradition in which designers together with users find sustainable and inclusive solutions in a playful manner.
Talent is the most important material we work with. We carefully assess the applicants’ potential before we admit them; then we do everything possible to develop and challenge their talent, through theory and reflection and through realistic and interdisciplinary projects. But first and foremost we engage them in experimental, practical workshop activities where the hand and the mind come together in functional and aesthetic design.
We are a locally based learning environment that works internationally and at university level. By attracting talent and close partners from around the world we provide our students with skills and contacts to engage effectively in a global labour market.
