Danish Crafts Collection

Danish Arts Foundation selected for Maison&Objet five designers-makers who work on natural materials, textile recycling and new semi-industrial methods.

The Danish Arts Foundation presents the new Danish Crafts Collection, which premieres at the trade fair Maison & Objet in Paris.

The Committee for Crafts and Design Project Funding hand-picked five designer-makers who present their innovative ideas and contemporary agendas in the Danish Crafts Collection. This includes recycled materials in sophisticated contexts, innovation based on nature’s treasure trove of resources and endless inspiration, and production methods that indicate new viable future scenarios.

The five craftspeople and designers included in this year’s line-up are Amanda Betz, Jonas Edvard, Anne Tophøj, Martine Myrup and Laura Barüel – two furniture makers, a ceramist and two textile artists. The selected craftspeople and designers all have a shared interest in sustainable solutions, which is reflected, for example, in Jonas Edvard’s tables, which feature a tabletop made of the natural composite gesso, and by Martine Myrup, who upcycles used textiles and reinterprets ceramic vessels in textile materials.
