Over the course of a full day, we will visit several manufacturers in Skåne working with a range of materials, techniques and production capabilities. The trip offers an opportunity to see production up close, gain a better understanding of different manufacturing processes and connect directly with companies that are open to collaborating with designers.
The field trip is part of SPOK SWE + DK, a Swedish–Danish collaborative project with Design denmark. The aim is to highlight the production capabilities available in our region while fostering new connections and collaborations between designers and manufacturers on both sides of the Öresund.
