New Now

As a group of young designers, the way the future is going to look and be like is on our minds.

Explorations on the nature-culture of food, possible solutions to rising water levels, new energy sources, our relation to air pollution and the importance of weeds are all important parts of this future.

What will our future homes look like? What will be hanging on our walls and standing on our tables?
How will those products be made?

And outside of our homes, how do we create connections between people again? After a pandemic full of distance, how do we celebrate the relationships that are there?

These are the questions of the future that keep us busy today. As solutions to the big questions of the New, might be found in our actions and ideas Now. So, come to our show to see, feel and discuss the New Now.
