Profile
Objects, jewellery and products are the focus of the New Craft Object Design study programme. We emphasise the inter- section of technical and creative education. Our teaching ref lects a great openness towards all forms and orientations of art and design. The variety of courses offered is very broad. Students master new technologies and become competent and confident in various practices, applying them creatively and combining them professionally. The resulting designs ran ge from applied to creative. We encourage lateral thinking of every single student and emphasise an open exchange bet ween all different fields of design. Students discuss analyses, innovative concepts, production methods as well as creative experiments and use their insights to create one-off designs and/or design concepts for series production. We consider both of these fields equally important.

Our graduates work in product and jewellery design, in design studios, technical laboratories, the manufacturing industries – or independently through self-employment, in start-up centres or as entrepreneurs starting their own business.
