A chair in a leather jacket, a luminescent textile and a bouncy wooden bench are among this year's offerings from The Mindcraft Project, an initiative championing Danish design craft.
This year The Mindcraft Project, an annual commission that allows 10 Danish designers to develop works that combine design and craft in new ways, is on show at the Kvadrat showroom in Copenhagen.
Copenhagen Design Agency, which runs the programme, invited designer Maria Bruun to curate this edition. She chose a mix of emerging and established participants, all "unafraid" to incorporate self-expression in their designs.
The results also include a hand-sculpted glass chandelier, a 3D-printed chair and a set of lamps that create optical illusions.
"The projects presented become specific instead of generic," Bruun said. "I think that is something we experience now; designers are interested in finding their specific language of form or their specific approach to experimentation." "There could be a lot of opinions about why we need to know each designer's subjective approach ? why are we not creating functionality and more general design"" she continued.
"But I think that good design starts here, with the designers' ambition and their subjective eye towards what design and craft could look like 20 years from now."
