Studio in Beijing

In January 2007, Kopenhagen Fur's presence in China was boosted with a design centre in Beijing, inaugurated jointly with the leading Chinese university, Tsinghua University. Design students at Tsinghua Kopenhagen Studio, as the design centre is called, are given opportunities to work with fur and gain skills and expertise. The Beijing design centre works closely with Kopenhagen Studio in Copenhagen.

Tsinghua University is China’s leading university with well over 30,000 students enrolled from all over China. Admission is highly competitive and at the faculty for art and design just 200 students are enrolled each year from a base of well over 17,000 applicants.

At Tsinghua University, students are given opportunities to work with a wide range of fur types. They are introduced to fur techniques developed by Kopenhagen Studio that they are asked to use and refine to achieve at their own expressions.
