Bachelor’s Programme / Design Furniture, Space and Materials Fashion Design and Textile

The Produkt+ programme introduces and links the subject areas of fashion, furniture, space and textile. The programme challenges the artistic and practical hands-on exploration of shape, function and material in the encounter with new technology, changing contexts and with an increased focus on sustainable production and consumption.

Produkt+ focuses on the development of subject-specific competencies and skills as well as the ability, as a designer, to work across disciplines. Design methods are studied from critical-reflexive, artistic and theoretical perspectives at a bodily scale and in a spatial context.

The programme offers two fields of study: Fashion Design and Textile, which concentrates on fashion design and textiles for fashion design, and Furniture, Space and Materials, focusing on furniture and material development and experiments in a spatial context. The students will investigate fundamental issues around sustainability and work with them using modern technology, new materials and innovative design solutions. The workshops are actively involved in the courses, and the students learn to work from an overall concept to the concrete development of form, space and material, both in analogue and digital form.

Produkt+ collaborates with design schools around the world on the exchange of professional knowledge as well as students and teachers. The programme also works with external private and public partners on multiple projects. In addition, the programme participates in a professional network with design schools in Scandinavia, focusing on implementing knowledge about sustainability. The programme qualifies the student to practise as a designer or pursue a Master’s degree.

“We work very closely with the material while simultaneously operating at a high technological level. We want our students to master the advanced technologies, but we also recognise that in the digital world we lack the sensory experience — how things feel when they are hot, cold, hard, soft, rough or smooth. The tactility of the materials is of great importance.”
