To create a space for more perspectives on what design is and can be, we have dedicated an entire room in Design Stories to collaborations. Super Ö – a studio where process and interactivity are at the center.

Borders, surveillance and technologies
Welcome to a workshop where we explore how borders, surveillance and new technologies are shaping Nordic openness.

Brave New World
What would the world look like if we followed craftsmanship principles instead of mass production? D20 explores this by contrasting a sustainable, craftsmanship-based future with the unsustainable industrial model, using AI and artisanal sketches to imagine such a world.
New audio guide
Clairvoyant Machines
The fascination of people with technology is at the forefront as seven technological objects from the Design Stories exhibition are explored. The result is a new audio guide, created in collaboration with artist Gloria López Cleries and the MA Embedded Design program at HDK-Valand, that offers a new experience of the technological and digital objects in the exhibition. The audio guide will be available in Design Stories from February 2025.
Alongside the audio guide, López Cleries’ sculpture Tezcatl (2021) will also be presented in the theme of Innovation within Design Stories.
feb 18 – march 2 2025

A large portion of Kulturlabbet in Super Ö
In Kulturlabbet’s installation, creative expression was unleashed, and the result was a large portion of art displayed in Super Ö.
In Super Ö, you’ll meet invited collaborators who explore, comment on, and experiment with themes and objects from the collections. It’s also a place where you, as a visitor, can share your own thoughts and stories about design.
