Beckmans College of Design presents Rough Cut: process driven furniture design
Stockholm design institutions take over Moderna Dansteatern, 3–7 February 2026
From 3–7 February, Stockholm’s three leading design institutions—Beckmans College of Design, Konstfack, and Malmstens—will take over Moderna Dansteatern at Skeppsholmen.
Together, they present a three-part exhibition exploring process, material, and craft through studies in furniture, interiors, and objects.
Rough Cut – process driven furniture design
Beckmans College of Design presents Rough Cut, an exhibition featuring 13 unique furniture projects by graduating students from BA Product Design. Each project is a personal exploration in which the students’ individual perspectives on form and materiality take center stage.
“By letting form, materials, and production guide the process, furniture is created that challenges contemporary design and shows how ideas and practice can come together in an experimental way”, says Morgan Rudberg, Senior Lecturer at BA Product Design.
The projects have been developed in close collaboration with established Swedish design companies EFG, Klong, Källemo, Nola, Stolab, and Storängen. Acting as mentors throughout the process, the companies and students have engaged in a mutual exchange—where industry partners benefit from fresh perspectives, curiosity, and energy, while students gain access to valuable professional knowledge and experience.
An exhibition highlighting the design process
Rough Cut places the design process itself at the core of the exhibition. Through sketchbook pages, video material, prototypes, and material experiments, visitors are invited into parts of the design journey that are rarely
shown. Sketches and models are presented alongside finished prototypes, offering insight into how form develops through detours, testing, and reflection.
The exhibition illustrates how ideas are refined over time and serves as a reminder that the path from concept to finished object is seldom linear.
A collaboration with BA Visual Communication
The overall exhibition experience—from the visual concept to the graphic identity—has been developed through a close collaboration with four graduating students from the Visual Communication programme. Their work forms an integral part of the exhibition, shaping how the projects are presented and experienced by the audience.
