Den 4. oktober fra kl. 14 - 19 er der Åbent Hus for alle interesserede med guidede ture i vores transformerede bygning og årets afgangsudstilling FRAME 🎉
On 4 October, 2 – 7 PM, we’re happy to be hosting an Open House event with guided tours of our transformed building at Ågade 10 + this year’s graduation exhibition FRAME 🎉

For the first time in many years, we’re able to present the graduation exhibition in our "new" school building at Ågade 10. Yay 🥳
The building underwent a comprehensive transformation in 2023-2024 to create the best conditions for students and staff. The technological developments demand future-proof workshop facilities, while the school's status as a university has greatly accelerated research, which also requires physical spaces for co-creation.
The A.P. Møller Support Foundation contributed DKK 24 million to the renovation, the Aage and Johanne Louis-Hansen Fonden contributed DKK 15 million, and the Augustinus Fonden contributed DKK 11 million. Kolding School of Design's own financing amounted to DKK 17.8 million.
The renovation took just over 1 1/2 years and was carried out by Cubo Arkitekter, with Hansen & Knudsen A/S as the main contractor and Tegnestuen Mejeriet as the project management consultant.

During the renovation, the entire school was temporarily relocated to Dyrehavevej 116 in Kolding, which previously housed UC SYD.

The 2024 graduation exhibition is titled FRAME. The exhibition invites curious minds to delve into the latest ideas, experiments, and solutions across Fashion Design, Textile Design, Communication Design, Industrial Design, and Accessory Design, as well as designs that address sustainability, play, and social issues.

FRAME centres on the concept of "frames" as both physical structures and symbolic representations, encouraging visitors to explore the boundaries, perspectives, and narratives that frames can create or challenge. The theme also ties into the opening of Kolding School of Design's transformed building at Ågade 10, which offers new spaces for creative expression, community, and collaboration with the outside world.

Opening hours
25 September - 17 October, every Wednesday and Thursday from 2 - 5 PM.

Group tours can be booked during the exhibition period. Please contact the school by phone at +45 76 30 11 00 or send an inquiry to [email protected]
