Milan 2016: design duo GamFratesi has filled the main space in the Circolo Filologico Milanese with an installation featuring spinning carpet-covered podiums for an exhibition of Danish design (+ slideshow).

This year's annual Danish design exhibition in Milan is titled In My Mindcraft, and is themed around 17th and 18th century ideas about how the human mind works and the thought process behind design.
Copenhagen-based GamFratesi has covered the main hall in the Circolo Filologico Milanese, a 19th century philology institute dedicated to studying the origin of written language and books located on Milan's via Clerici, with an installation of dark red carpet patterned to suggest organisms and blood cells.
The In My Mindcraft installation by GamFratesi In the centre of the hall, 33 connected carpet-covered podiums spin gently to show work by 15 designers from a range of disciplines, who are either Danish or live and work in Denmark.

"We were asking what is the origin of a design project," GamFratesi co-founder Enrico Fratesi told Dezeen. "Before thinking about the material, before analysing the project, it starts with the mind, so the idea was to try and get a pice of the mind of the different artists into the exhibition and to show what is the mind of Denmark somehow."
