S.E. - Snedkernes Efterårsudstilling / Cabinetmakers' Autumn Exhibition 2019
/Re-think Re-use Re-duce
Danish Architecture Centre, Bryghuspladsen 10, Copenhagen
8 November 2019 - 3 May 2020
The annual Cabinetmakers' Autumn exhibition has just opened at BLOX in the Golden Gallery of the Danish Architecture Centre.
There are thirty-five works by cabinetmakers, some who have both designed and made the furniture but most are a collaboration between cabinetmakers and designers or architects working together. Each year the furniture reflects a theme and this year the focus is on climate change and sustainability so there are experiments with new materials; designs that reassess how established materials are used and could be re-used and there are designs that focus on reworking ideas to make them relevant to the way we have to live now and how we may live in the near future.
These works are about makers understanding their chosen material to explore ideas and explore limits and potential but also about producing beautiful and simple furniture of the very highest quality. After all, for most people the easiest form of sustainability is to buy something we need but that then we don't want to throw away.
The furniture is shown on a framework of scaffolding that can itself be reused after the exhibition is dismantled.
