Closure & Scholarships 2024

Beckman's Scholarship, Fashion 


Stipendium på SEK 10.000 kr

Jens Nilsson för kollektionen Solid Air
“Med mogen blick och ambitiöst sinne utforskar du med precision nya tekniker och konstruktiva metoder. Vetgirig och nyfiken tar du dig omsorgsfullt an nya material och skapar meningsfulla möten där rörelse, geometri och känsla lyhört träder fram i ett personligt uttryck.”

ASFB & NK Young Talent Award


Rasmus Georgiadis för kollektionen A Flourishing Confluence
Morgondagens unga designers hyllas med priset NK Young Talent Award. Vinnaren hedras med en utställning i Ljusgården på NK Stockholm och får också synlighet i både NK:s skyltfönster och digitala kanaler.
“Att vara vågande och tänja på gränserna är inte alltid lätt och kommer alltid mötas av motstånd. Men med en onekligen iögonfallande presentation och känsla för ett naturligt flöde av former har denna elevs kärlek för couture inspirerat och påmint många av oss om vad mode handlar om i grunden med sitt starka intryck som kan lämna en lättad över att det sista geniet inte än är fött. Stort grattis till Rasmus Georgiadis, vinnare av årets NK Young Talent Award.”

H&M


Emma Carling för kollektionen Remsan
SEK15.000
“Well executed concept of a strong, contemporary femininity with clear flirtations to Vivienne Westwood and the punk era. The whole concept is “fashion forward” without compromising the quality and craftmanship in the making. A playful and strong collection!”

Pierre Westerholm för kollektionen JEKBEJT

SEK12.000
“An outstanding cool, effortless, new version of streetwear. Approachable yet innovative with a good eye for detailing silhouettes and colours.”

Jens Nilsson för kollektionen Solid Air

“Throughout a well executed concept all the way from idea to craftsmanship in the making of the garments, colour coordination to styling, it all comes together beautifully.”

Hedersomnänmande H&M
Rasmus Georgiadis för kollektionen A Flourishing Confluence
“The craftmanship and forms holds high international standards. A beautiful, very feminine and sensual Iris van Herpen inspired couture collection. Your collection is representative as a sign of the times!”

Beckman's scholarship, Product Design

Stipendium på SEK 5.000 kr var
Tove Östlund för projektet Back to Basics
“Med ett pannben och driv som aldrig ger upp, för ett projekt som ligger långt ifrån gallerier och designbutiker. Som istället nyfiket och ärligt intresserar sig för ett ämne som kan vara till hjälp för många. Genom en process som bjuder in och låter användaren vara med och påverka och utforma produkten” 

Maja Berthin Tingström för projektet RÅ
“I en tid av slit och släng och ”fast design” går årets (andra) formstipendie till en produkt som kan ärvas av generationer. I ett material som annars allt för ofta går direkt i soporna. En produkt att leva på och med som ingjuter ett lugn såväl som lekfullhet och inbjuder till att låta fantasin vandra iväg och se både ängar och molnlandskap.”

Svenskt Tenn's design scholarship

The scholarship is based on the three criteria Quality, Long-term and Good product design and involves SEK 20,000 + two weeks of accommodation in the guest apartment at the Swedish Institute in Paris that is decorated by Svenskt Tenn. In addition, the degree project will be shown at Svenskt Tenn in the autumn of 2024.

Svea Tisell for the Reverie project
Estrid Ericson, who founded Svenskt Tenn exactly 100 years ago, began collaborating with the Austrian architect Josef Frank in 1934. Together, they created the interior design philosophy that Svenskt Tenn still works from. An interior design philosophy that always puts people in focus, where comfort and well-being are the most important keywords.
Josef Frank said, for example, that steel pipes, from which much furniture was made in the 1920s/1930s, were cold and far from human and comfortable. According to Frank, steel pipes were not good for anything at all, you can't even burn with it. Throughout history, furniture has by definition been made of hard solid materials, wood, metal, even concrete that has then been decorated or covered with something soft that meets people.
This year's Svenskt Tenn scholarship recipient has explored a technology that we see as visionary and that changes perspectives and creates a new type of convenience. Svea Tisell has created a piece of furniture by weaving it three-dimensionally. A comfortable armchair has come to life by diligently weaving a 2.5 km long line. Svea's armchair shows that there are other ways to create furniture than the classic ones. An incredibly exciting experiment created through a well-thought-out manufacturing method. The Reverie armchair may not be the most practical given its weight, but we would like to see Svea continue to develop the technology to create new unexpected furniture."

Artists' Collective Workshop

Edward Weinhofer for the project Average Ages
The Artists' Collective Workshop's degree scholarship is awarded annually to a newly graduated visual or design artist from each of Beckmans, Konstfack and the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts, Crafts and Design.

Formex

Chatrine Schumacher för projektet C/O
Stipendium som innebär en möjlighet att ställa ut på Formex i augusti och där knyta kontakter och träffa press.
“Årets Formex-stipendium 2024 går till ett projekt som utgår från det personliga och självupplevda. I en tid där stress och psykisk ohälsa ökar behövs produkter för kontemplation men som också är en antydan om att det alltid finns ett ljus i slutet av tunneln.”

Beckmans Scholarship, Artistic Design

Oscar Hagberg for the project Boys
The scholarship is awarded to a student who, during their education and in their degree project, has developed their interest and ability for artistic processes and expressions. The scholarship involves a three-week work stay at Villa San Michele on Capri.
"In a complex web of interviews, texts, images, dance, video and objects, you seek in an exploratory and problematizing process to create a space for dialogue and reflection on how we can understand and reconsider today's images of masculinity and masculinity in a still unequal society."

Beckmans Scholarship, Visual Communication

Salmah Jumbe
For a degree project with a clear direction, carried out with deep respect and with a strong sense of responsibility for one's own position. A project in which film, textile craftsmanship and journalistic work – through an autobiographical lens – become visual communication that touches on women's independence and professional pride. "Everybody knows that we will keep playing." The first scholarship for VK teachers in 2024 goes to Salmah Jumbe's project A Different Mind Is a Problem.

Linnea Arminda Birkelund
What are we looking at? A work of art; an installation of film, sound, light and discomfort that becomes visual communication about darkness and light, about the familiar and the unfamiliar. This project is a hymn to the headstrong, the brave, the unique, and a manifestation of a realized vision. The club culture has taken its natural place at the design school. The second scholarship for VK teachers in 2024 goes to Linnea Arminda Birkelund's project Juxtaposed.

EY Doberman Scholarship

Mauritz Larsson för projektet BESTFRIENDS4EVER
“Ett arbete som med sin sårbarhet, process och ett förbluffande hantverk ger oss gåshud. Genom att vara djupt personlig får stipendiaten oss att prata om relationer och vänskap, samtidigt som han belyser samtida problematik kring frivillig och ofrivllig ensamhet. En varm berättelse, inbakad i kall metall och råa utsökta designval. Vi kan inte slita oss från BESTFRIENDS4EVER.”
