About:

Since 2008, The Mindcraft Project has been dedicated to elevating Danish designers and makers by showcasing their work to a global audience and serving as a vital link to the established design industry.

The fusion of the words ‘Mind’ and ‘Craft’ captures the essence of the project—where experimental, innovative, and conceptual design approaches meet material knowledge and craftsmanship.

In The Mindcraft Exhibition 2025, ten carefully selected designers, makers and studios present new works inspired by nature and its systems. Through diverse materials and techniques, each offers a unique perspective on contemporary Danish design.

Pil Bredahl, curator: “This year’s edition of The Mindcraft Exhibition offers a peek into how nature’s geometry and laws of physics inspire and influence some of Denmark’s most unique designers and makers.”
