Milan Design Week 2018: Mindful Danish Craft at MINDCRAFT18
Visitors were invited to stop for a while, recharge and take in some Danish craft at the MINDCRAFT18 exhibition during Milan Design Week.
In a shaded courtyard in a corner of Milan, a gentle breeze and quiet music welcomed the weary Milan Design Week visitor to stop for a while, recharge and take in some Danish craft. The exhibition was entitled MINDCRAFT18. “The Danish crafts and design scene is very strong right now,” says curator Ditte Hammerstrøm. “The participants I have selected are among the very best in their field and able to produce site-specific works for the exhibition venue. They all employ an experimental process and take a unique approach to their materials. As a group, they represent the high level of diversity, innovation and quality that characterizes Danish crafts and design.”
?Sakyu? (Japanese for ‘sand dune’) is a pine bench shaped by a CNC (computer numerically controlled) milling machine and hand-finished with Japanese planers and scrapers. “The wavy pattern is based on sine curves, which can be calculated mathematically and are found throughout nature,” says its designer Rasmus Fenhann. “The pattern creates an interesting interplay of light and shade and is reminiscent of the lines made by the waves on a sandy beach or by the wind sweeping the large sand dunes in the Sahara Desert.”
