A glimpse of magic before growing too old for tricks. A futile attempt to explain the unexplainable, before surrendering to fantasy. “Arena” is an animated short that tells the story of two sisters who find turtle eggs at the beach.

“The Bog” is a pictorial story that takes shape in a book and an installation. The different components emerge in parallel. I whittle and embroider. I write and draw. There is a decoratively painted cabinet. There is someone in a beret. There are the birch forest and the river. There are the magpies. There are… Continue reading Amanda Jonsson

This degree project explores the concept of ‘in-betweenness’ and what it means to grow up between different cultural identities. During the summer of 2025, I travelled to Iran to study the Persian culture I was raised with, before returning to Sweden to contrast it with the country I grew up in. After four days in… Continue reading David Hoshang Nazerian

“An Un-natural Process of Decay” began in the autumn of 2025, with the demolition of a postmodern multi-storey car park in the satellite district of Marievik in Stockholm. With a workforce of four people and two bulldozers within a timespan of 48 hours, 25% of the structure was gone. Equally fast, the demolition continued and… Continue reading Wilma Hildeby

It began with an accumulation of materials. During my five years at Konstfack, I’ve collected and saved waste materials from the five different workshops. Wood, metal, textiles, ceramics, glass, stone and wire. At first, my project was about honouring these materials. I began intuitively building with them, refining them by giving them a new context… Continue reading Wendy K. Skogstad

Through a process of searching, I have chosen to work with a number of specific sites that, in their quiet language,… Continue reading Valentin Strohkirch

This degree project explores how principles from collective living models can be adapted for the homes of individuals living alone, where social interactions create opportunities without compromising autonomy. A former office building serves as a test… Continue reading Truls Goldschmidt

“Dead Typologies” is about bringing back the joy of using multimedia in our homes. In today’s society, shared experiences, caring and productivity are exchanged for a constantly attention-seeking, individualistic mobile phone. Big Tech companies have turned our attention into a commodity, a job we work 24/7, and as payment, if you’re lucky, you get a… Continue reading Oskar Schmidt

Richard Senneth wrote in his essay “The Open City” from 2006 ‘(…)the problem of citizen participation is how people can feel connected to others, when, necessarily, they cannot know them’. My degree project “Beisammensein”, the German word for ‘togetherness’, questions our contemporary ways of living next to each other. It explores the questions of how… Continue reading Lilly Ellen Dormeier

From El Paso, through Agry Town and Rio Bravo, coming up to Sweetwater, before landing in The Alamo, this is a story about material blending into fiction. This is a story told through objects, about cowhide and gunslingers. It is about creating a spaghetti furniture universe. Cowhide is here a starting point to examine the… Continue reading Karl Salmonsson
