Our dining chair QUEEN on the cover of ELLE Decoration
Queen stands with its high back and fine silhouette. The steel construction is broken up by the soft leather piece on the seat and back with adjustable straps. The design is eye-catching and dynamic. This is the sophisticated choice.
Nominated for designer of the year, Danish Design Awards 2018
"The design language of Kevin Hviid has something very haute couture about it"
Full nomination in Danish: Kevin Hviids designsprog har noget haut couture over sig – nok allerbedst udtrykt på årets mindcraft-udstilling, hvor hans stol Billy vakte berettiget opsigt med sit optiske bedrag, men også hans markante og farvestrålende svingende sofa for det danske modefirma Ganni er helt unik. Loungestolen Cocoon, som han har designet sammen med Martin Kachayas, glemmer man ikke, når man først har set den. Inspirationen er klar fra 1960'erne, men det er lykkedes at ramme tidsånden lige nu i plet.

Billy is a round bench with seating for two persons on both sides. Billy is an unique piece designed for MINDCRAFT18, on display in Milan during the design week, where the historical San Simpliciano cloister forms the setting for the exhibition. MINDCRAFT is an exhibition concept showcasing some of Denmark's most talented craftspeople and designers.
The Danish Arts Foundation invited furniture designer Ditte Hammerstrøm to be this year’s curator and exhibition designer. She in turn selected 17 participants among Denmark’s leading craft makers and designers, who were given the opportunity to present new bespoke works to the international audience at one of the world’s most important design events.
Curator Ditte Hammerstrøm says about her selection:
‘The Danish crafts and design scene is very strong right now. 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 diversit0y, innovation and quality that characterizes Danish crafts and design right now.’
A strong team with a diverse expression
Spanning from ceramics, glass and jewellery to textile and furniture design, the participants represent a diverse range of disciplines and approaches to materials, process and form.
This year’s MINDCRAFT participants are:
Anja Vang Kragh, Pettersen & Hein (Lea Hein, Magnus Pettersen), Petra Dalström, Kevin Hviid, Kasper Kjeldgaard, Maria Koshenkova, Louise Campbell, Katrine Borup, Iben Høj, Isabel Berglund, Carl Emil Jacobsen, Gitte Jungersen, Cecilie Bendixen, Rasmus Fenhann, Wednesday Architecture (Sofie Trier Mørk, Lise Bjerre Schmidt).
The careful mix of established and new talents represents the qualities that characterize contemporary Danish craft and design with an emphasis on knowledge of materials, craftsmanship, new methods and an experimental approach.

How can furniture promote human encounters in the public space? See 40 possible answers to this question in the garden of Designmuseum Danmark, where this year’s pieces of outdoor furniture designs interpret this social goal.
The exhibition and concept were developed in a collaboration between exhibition architect and furniture designer Mads Kjædegaard and Stig L. Andersson, design director, founding partner of SLA. grundplan.dk sla.dk
A piece of furniture with curves, character and sharp elbows.
Irïs stands tall and proud. She is colourful, both inside and out, stands out from the background and attracts attention.
Irïs’s skirts swing and sway as she brings one, two or more people back and forth in her arms, but Irïs also offers room and time for reflection and lingering in the moment by providing a sheltered, intimate space in her arms.
Irïs is a sturdily built woman who can handle all sorts of weather and has no problem being moved to somewhere else, but she also stands her ground, facilitating good connections with her cheerful mood. A lady who deserves to be embraced, enjoyed and seen. Irïs will earn anyone’s respect and always be remembered for providing a good experience.

BOB Bench is inspired by the Memphis movement, where form does not have to follow function, and where design is about communication. It is a very graphical piece of furniture, which strives to communicate and attract attention to its presence.
It is constructed with rectangular and circular steel pipes painted in black and white and bold primary colors, the bench’s back rest and overhanging seat form a perfect circle. The armrests are in brass.
The bench was selected to be presented at REFORM 2016 Design Biennale (www.re-form.dk/), a biannual exhibition space, which strives to assemble the strongest field within modern Danish design
Queen was designed as part A collection of chairs, which consists of 4 pieces: King, Queen, Jack and Ace.
All four chairs consist of a light rectangular steel construction, each one with its own quality and strength, but all four designed from a same architectural line and starting point. From there on, geometries, angles and heights vary for each of the chairs. These differences make them each uniquely beautiful and suitable in the home. We call them four in a row.
Queen stands with its high back and fine silhouette. The steel construction is broken up by the soft leather piece on the seat and back with adjustable straps. The design is eye-catching and dynamic. This is the sophisticated choice.
Bob at Le Bon Marché in Paris.
The world’s first department store, le Bon Marché, opened its doors in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés in 1852, giving life to the idea of visionary Frenchman Aristide Boucicaut. Over the years, le Bon Marché has become the symbol of the Left Bank and its artful approach to life, where the most prestigious fashion names (Louis Vuitton, Dior, Chanel…), design, fine foods, art and culture mingle with impossible elegance. Le Beau Marché contacted us because they wanted to have Bob.
Bob shared space with a selection of exclusive brands and new designers about to break big.

Redesign and transformation of Johan Bulow factory
The project consist of a refurbishment of an old washroom (prior soft drink factory) into an office environment, headquarter and showroom for danish liquorice export-star Lakrids by Johan Bülow. A factory, an office environment but also an event space with guided liquorice tours.
DK info - Projektet har bestået i en ombygning af en gammel vaskehal (knyttet til den gamle FUN læskedrik-fabrik) til kontormiljø, hovedsæde og showroom for Johan Bülow.
Ombygningen er løst med særlig fokus på at skabe tæt visuel kontakt til lakridsgryderne, samt at skabe levende rum hvor man mødes omkring lakridsen, og kan præsentere nye produkter og opskrifter, blandt andet ved de mange events, som de afholder. Samtidig ville vi bevare den gamle vaskehals udtryk, som Johan havde forelsket sig i. Vi har eksperimenteret meget med materialet strækmetal, som vi har beklædt vægge og vinduer med.
Architect by heart, we also do "classic" architectural projects. Office building and rebuilding, transformation, restoration and planning tasks. Advising companies both in the private and public sectors in collaboration with archictural firms.

Vinkel is a made of wooden boxes cut in different angles. It plays with perspective, and creates an illusion of change when you move around it, changing form from each viewing point.
Hjemmet gennemgår i øjeblikket et skift fra at have haft en især erindringsbærende karakter, og være det sted, hvor vi gemmer på vores erindringer og historie, til i dag at have en langt mere nomadisk karakter.
Dette skift i hjemmet "fra rum til netværk" interesserer os og inspirerer os i vores designs. Hvilket VINKEL er et af resultaterne af.
Vinkel leger med perspektivet, og skaber en illusion af forandring. Afhængigt af hvordan man sætter kasserne sammen, kan VINKEL samles i forskellige sammensætninger, - stables, vægmonteret eller ved siden af hinanden, hvilket giver forskellige dybder, fortællinger og perspektiver i rummet
The Flip bookshelf is both a square, a hexagon and a trapezoid form imposed on each other. A simple manipulation of the edges creates a bookshelf that can be perceived differently depending on your viewpoint, or the way you flip it. At its base, it is still a square and functional box, great for storing books, or creating a playful frame around your everyday objects.
FLIP shelf is made of 6 mm painted or oak-veneered waterproof mdf board.
