Now Debuting: The Best New Danish Designs from Maison et Objet

February 21, 2014

The Danish Crafts Collection has been curating an annual collection of work by young and up-and-coming Danish designers since 1999. Being admitted into the showcase is akin to receiving the Danish design counsel seal of approval–and only about 30 pieces are singled out every year. Newly part of the Danish Agency for Culture, the Crafts Collection is on a mission to bring handmade Danish products to the world. Towards that end, the group recently presented its newest crop at the Paris trade show Maison et Objet. Here, our favorite discoveries:

Danish Craft Collection Carousel

Above: From Danish-born Japanese designer Akiko Kuwahata, the Carousel is a stackable wooden jewelry box, available in maple, cherry, and walnut hardwoods with clear or bright yellow acrylic lids; 675 DKK at Lisbeth Dauv and 625 DKK at Stilleben.

Danish Craft Collection Textile No. 3   Kitchen Wear

Above: Textile No. 3 is a set of highly absorbent, organic linen kitchen towels by Karin Carlander. The linens are woven and sewn in Europe under sustainable working conditions; for pricing and availability contact Karin Carlander directly.

Danish Craft Collection Mirror Mirror

Above: Mirror Mirror by Maria Bruun is a collection of angled mirrors that question what we see. The designs are intended for installation in a corner of a room, or on a table and against a wall simultaneously. Made of high-polished stainless steel set in an oak frame, the mirrors can be ordered through Maria Bruun.

Above: The In Sight Tools cabinet is a wall-mounted wooden case created by Lene Munthe and Karen of AnonymDesign. The two describe their design as containing and organizing “all the tools you need to hang up a picture, secure the electrical cord, tighten the door handle, measure something, or check if things are level.” Available in ash and oak, the cabinet is €795 through AnonymDesign.
