Ecco extends partnership with design school

25/04/2014
Footwear group Ecco has announced it will extend a partnership agreement with the design school in Kolding in the company’s native Denmark.

Ecco said that, while it contributes its knowledge of shoes to the collaboration, it believes it benefits too from having Kolding students “challenge and inspire” it on innovation and design.

As part of the agreement, Ecco’s chief designer, Ejnar Truelsen, is to become an affiliate professor at the design school and students who display a high enough level of talent will have the chance to win scholarships from Ecco and the chance to work as an intern with the company.
