Danish crafts and design will be exhibited for the first time at FuoriSalone during Mindcraft, a display of work by 12 of Denmark’s top designers. Danish Crafts is organizing the show and the focus is on the transition from an approach to crafts that was previously based on materials, techniques and usefulness to one that is more concerned with the tension between art, crafts and design. The projects include digital bed linen, an inflatable bowl, a good-luck ring, aesthetic/grotesque figurines, a Styrofoam chair, a huge felt boulder, a luminescent damask table cloth, a soft bathtub, a ceramic rack, a clothes tree, a lower body mirror , and a laser-cut chair. The 12 participating Danish designers are ceramicist Anders Ruhwald, ceramicist Christin Johansson, ceramicist Louise Hindsgavl, textile designer Pernelle Fagerlund, textile designer Astrid Krogh, textile designer Dorte Agergaard Jensen, furniture designer Louise Campbell, furniture designer Ditte Hammerstrøm, designer Cecilie Manz, designer Ole Jensen, goldsmith Kim Buck, and goldsmith Carolina Vallejo.
