KOLDING DESIGN CAMP 2011

Kolding School of Design

Just a week after starting my MA Fashion and the Environment at London College of Fashion I am told I was chosen to go a fully funded Design Camp in Denmark! Exciting! It's a 2 week long project between the renowned design school in Kolding, Denmark, and lots of top schools in the world. From LCF 2 other girls, Emma and Steph, are here and from the UK also 2 students from Kingston.  Students are from different deisgn backgrounds, so we have furniture, fashion, managements, communication and many more fields working together.

Speaker Cecialia Katzoff  on visualising electricity

One of many brainstorms

The theme this year is "Electricity - From the Intangible to the Tangible and from the Tangible to the Wonderful!". I am one week in, one to go. Last week consisted of brainstorming after brainstorming (heaps of post its). We also had experts hold lectures and talk to us. And by Friday we had the core idea which we are going to spend next week realizing. Our pitch sounds a little bit like this...

How may we take advantage of excess wind energy to create an emotional communal experience through the medium of light to increase awareness of electricity and its use.

Saturday some of us spent in Copenhagen, a beautiful and 

a book i fell in love with in Copenhagen

Amongst all the fashion books with styled, polished looks, I found this an original source of inspiration.
