School of Form established in 2011 with the aim of training the next generation of designers, is part of the SWPS University. The School was founded by Lidewij Edelkoort, the long-time head of Design Academy Eindhoven, together with Piotr Voelkel, founder of SWPS University, and Zuzanna Skalska, design and business trend analyst. Based in Warsaw since 2020, School of Form’s founding philosophy is that good design cannot exist without the humanistic element, as such they tailor their courses to prioritise its central role. Its location on the University’s campus means access to scientific and research facilities as well as business partners who offer educational internships. The School fosters teamwork as well as individuality, cultivating original thought, concepts and business solutions. The unique curriculum was developed by a team of experts led by Lidewij Edelkoort, the strategic director of the School of Form and taught by a diverse selection of experienced teachers. Students go on to set up their own design studios or join existing ones, some become School of Form lecturers, others continue their education at foreign design schools
