pratt in copenhagen

as i continue to blog and work on d*s, the one consistent love i have in the design world is student work. i’m always drawn to student shows and exhibitions far more strongly than the big fairs at javits each year. something about the raw talent and creativity they exude is endlessly inspiring for me. because i live in brooklyn i definitely have a soft spot for pratt and their incredibly talented students. so i was thrilled yesterday to hear from pratt student kimberly lewis who’s over in copenhagen (along with her classmates) taking part in a textile design studio. she created a blog to mark her progress and work in the class and i’ve been poring over it all morning. there’s something about watching an artist test things out and then hit their stride that’s just so exciting. you can click here to check out kim’s blog and watch her textile work progress- her latest linen pieces are really beautiful. [thanks, kim!]

Thank you for sharing Kim’s work. I agree it is inspiring. After reading your post, I looked up Designskolen Kolding for more inspiration. Here’s more work to oooh and ahhh over: http://www.afgang2007.dk/

I like the looks of those orange squiggles on her bulletin board.
