About
Design School Kolding is an independent institution under the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science. The school trains designers at undergraduate and graduate levels focusing on different areas of design.
The Lab for Social Design performs design research and artistic development work in order to create social and cultural change.
Through democratic, experimental and material-oriented design processes we explore socially sustainable futures within social design, social innovation and welfare design in close collaboration with relevant actors.
Our starting point is complex social and societal challenges. Our approach involves co-design, empathy and performativity.
