Die Zijn Er
Exposition AG

In DIE ZIJN ER we, fourteen fourth-year students HKU Product Design, present a selection from the final exam projects with which we will graduate in June. We have spent the past period individually exploring what designing a product means to us and how we can contribute to the world around us. Who are we as designers? How can we generate attention to what is already there?

The exhibition shows the great diversity of our work; from artistic to more artisanal and from usable objects to interactive installations and video work. In a light-hearted way DIE ZIJN ER plays with expectations that the concepts of “product” and “design” can evoke and gives an idea of the freedom we found during our research. We would like to invite you to discover our creative development and get into a conversation with us about what occupies us as young makers.
