The Danish Crafts Collection
Maison & Objet, 2010
The Danish Crafts Collection is an award-winning annual collection founded in 1999. It presents a curated selection of the best in emerging Danish craft and design at international fairs and in other commercial contexts. For four consecutive years, Studiomama was commissioned to curate and design the Maison & Objet presentation.
Danish Crafts Collection CC14
Each year, we selected a diverse range of 20–30 of Denmark’s most promising ceramists, jewellers, textile and glass artists and furniture designers. Their products, all designed and made in Denmark, were anchored in local traditions and infused with the skill of experienced hands and a feel for form, aesthetics and storytelling. The results were relevant and meaningful products that mattered to the maker and made sense to the user.
The Danish Crafts Collection 14, launched in 2010, was based on sustainable thinking that included up-cycling, recycling, reuse, and social and local engagement. It brought together the world's knowledge about resourcefulness in a way that is relevant to modern living. Simple, yet highly functional plinths combined with striking wall graphics ensured that the work of these Danish craftspeople caught the eyes of Maison & Objet's 85,000 annual visitors.
