PhD Cilla Robach is principal for Beckmans College of Design in Stockholm, Sweden. Beckmans was founded in 1939 and educates 123 students in Fashion, Product Design and Visual Communication. The education focuses on the student’s individual creative development, where Beckmans has established unique pedagogical methods. The overall goal is to exam independent designers with strong individual creative toolboxes. We want them to become active participants in the development of the future society. Robach was formerly a curator of contemporary design at the Nationalmuseum Stockholm. In 2010 her Doctoral Thesis on the 1960’ies design debate in Sweden was published. Here she analysed the development of a design movement within the aesthetic, social and economic discourses of the period. In 2012 she published the book on Slow Art, that also was an exhibition exposed at the Nationalmuseum as well as the Centre Culturel Suédoise in Paris in 2013. With the concept of Slow Art Robach emphasized a discussion on time and production as well as on quality and lifestyle, where contemporary time consuming craft processes was analysed from a social, economic and political point of view. In 2005 her book Konceptdesign analysed a contemporary critical movement in the Swedish design context, questioning authority of defining what design was or ought to be. Robach has also contributed to a number of scientific publications on Swedish Design, eg Svenska Möbler under femhundra år (2008), Utopia & Reality, Modernity in Sweden 1900-1960 (2002), Art Bulletine of Nationalmuseum (1998-2013).
