- It's great that our BA students will be exposed at such an important international arena, says Professor Dave Vikøren at the Dept of Design. He has followed several of the students closely and is proud of what they have achieved.

The exhibitiors are:

• Cathrine Bækken

In addition, former KHiB-students Morten Knarrum and Jonas Nordheim of the Design Incubator in Bergen will also be presenting their works.
