Ukurant Objects exhibition features squishy chair and waxy vases
A squishy chair made from bio-foam that looks like stone, a modular seating system inspired by a church and vases cast from beeswax were among the objects on display at the Ukurant Objects exhibition at the 3 Days of Design festival in Copenhagen.
"'Ukurant' means something that doesn't look like everything else in Danish," said Laerke Ryom, one of the co-founders of the Ukurant project.
"So what you see here is our interpretation of something out of the ordinary, something that is 'ukurant'."
"Many of the objects are balancing the functional versus the non-functional," she added.
Sisse Holst Pedersen's Lion-foot sculpture was one of the designs on show
Together with Josefine Krabbe Munck, Kamma Rosa Schytte and Kasper Kyster, Ryom founded Ukurant as a professional community for graduates to share ideas and help each other. The four furniture designers all graduated from Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi (The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts) last year.

Their Ukurant Objects exhibition showcased 20 designs from 24 designers spread across the world, all with a connection to Denmark.
"The pieces represent 24 young designers who are all just starting their career," Ryom said. "We selected these pieces because we wanted to show design that challenges and plays with function and materials."
