On Sunday, October 25, the 33 bachelor and postgraduate-level design students of the Weaving Futures programme (9 from partnering European universities, 8 from Thai universities, and 16 from Stenden University’s Design Asia programme) gathered at the Thailand Creative & Design Center in Bangkok to present their prototypes and creative processes.
Over the past three weeks, all students teamed up in groups of 4 to 6 to explore sustainability, local craftsmanship, and eco-responsible design. Their journey included a 4-day intercultural workshop in Bangkok, a 5-day field immersion in Chiang Mai, featuring 3 days with the Ban San Din Daeng community, and concluded with a 10-day production residency back in Bangkok.
Sunday’s review session with mentors and organisers celebrated three weeks of intense exchange and cultural dialogue. A special thank you to the Ban San Ding Daeng community for welcoming the students and sharing their valuable guidance and feedback on their work.
Their final collaborative works will be exhibited to the public during the 13th edition of Galleries’ Nights in Bangkok on November 20 and 21, 2026 and 5-13 december during Chiang Mai Design Week 2026.
