danishdesignMAKERS

a tribute to Everyday life - 2018 EXHIBITION

Stockholm Furniture Fair 2018 - AG:66

danishdesign MAKERS is an alliance of designers of different nationalities and backgrounds, but all with strong ties to the Danish design culture. We believe that Danish design values honesty, simplicity and function, and that these values reflect the beauty of the outcome. MAKERS believe that design is foremost a practical subject and is best kept this way. We continue this tradition, and for the future let a hands-on experience define Danish design and tell its story.

This year's exhibition is inspired by the Danish poet Dan Turell's poem about the beauty of everyday routines - and partly a commentary on the extravagance that, on many fronts, characterises the design scene today.

The exhibition "A tribute to everyday life", exhibits designs from 22 designers, that fits into an everyday routing from their private lives. Routines associated with, leaving for work, coming home, relaxing, washing dishes, playing with the kids etc.
Our desire is to give new ideas to the things that surround us in everyday life - Everyday basic things that often do not make much visual noise but are characterised by functionality and the beauty there off.
