"Designers in Residence" is an international scholarship programme run by the city of Pforzheim for young designers from the fields of jewellery, fashion, accessories and industrial design. It has been organised annually since 2016 in cooperation with Pforzheim University of Applied Sciences and the Design Center Baden-Württemberg. The scholarship holders are invited to work at EMMA - Kreativzentrum Pforzheim from April to June. This gives them the opportunity to work intensively on a project independently of their studies or professional activities. In the exhibition, this year's Designers in Residence scholarship holders will present the results of their scholarship period.

Israeli fashion designer Ganit Goldstein explores the possibilities of future technologies in fashion and makes 3D printing wearable: Her "WEAREABLE" collection of customised garments and accessories combines 3D printing with traditional craft techniques.
For South Korean jewellery designer Dabin Lee, jewellery is more than just a wearable luxury; her jewellery pieces serve as a platform for social and political messages. Her "Hello Murder" project uses large-format, powerful pieces to denounce the environmental damage caused by plastic waste.
Observing the environment, responding to the needs of others and designing objects that can be produced directly using a 3D printer: With his project "Small Things with Big Heart", Taiwanese industrial designer Sheng-Hung Lee explores how people in his environment live, think and act and translates this into objects that fulfil a meaningful function for the user.
