Six teams of designers and manufacturers have been matched and compensated to jointly develop an idea over a period of 4 months. Ö–GJORT serves as a testing ground for collaboration within the field of design, and the outcome could range from material and manufacturing tests to a prototype or finished product. The results of these collaborations will be showcased at Lokstallarna during the Southern Sweden Design Days 2024.
