Danmarks næste Klassiker at Trends & Traditions
/
There was a lot of interest in the stand at Trends & Traditions that showed some of the designs from Danmarks næste klassiker - the Danish television series that was broadcast in the Spring. At least four of the designers were around to answer questions.
What was not obvious, from watching the programme, was the high quality of finish of the prototypes.
The format of the show means that the designers are set a project task and then have just three weeks to complete the design, source materials, resolve problems and produce a prototype either themselves, in their own workshops, or, where special technology is needed, work with small workshops or small industrial independents.
Several of the designers worked with 3D printers and again the quality of the finish, seen up close, is impressive and clearly that technology is improving rapidly.
