WE ARE THE NEXT GENERATION exhibition
Discover the designers of tomorrow
Every year, Designregion Kortrijk and its partners are looking for the next generation of design talents in product design, architecture, graphic design and game design. Discover at this exhibition the best student projects from the creative Belgian (higher) design education.
The exhibition is part of this year's WONDER - Kortrijk Creativity Festival, just like the Biennale Interieur with its new design event 'PLEASE, HAVE A SEAT' and will run from 15 October to 14 November 2021. The location is the factory halls on the former Van Marcke site in Kortrijk.

Theme: PLEASE, HAVE A SEAT
Getting together, lounging together, having fun together, hanging out together. The coronavirus crisis has made us all the more aware of the importance of social interaction and its impact on people and society, ánd on students. Through the theme PLEASE, HAVE A SEAT, we show you how design students have interpreted the coronavirus crisis in the context of their student project.
These student projects have been carefully selected by the jury, based on their link with the theme, social relevance, innovative character, sustainability and exhibitability.
