This exhibition invites visitors to delve deeper into our perception and understanding of materials and gain a newfound appreciation for their significance in the objects we create and consume
The exhibition, TRANSCENDENCE, takes place in an industrial hall formerly used to produce ship engines at District Refshaleøen in Copenhagen with sharpened focus on materials and sustainability.
Architect and curator, Frederikke Aagaard will install a dreamy vision in this rather raw space made from natural and recycled materials, which will be reused after the exhibition. Through insightful installation and hands-on demonstrations, this exhibition invites visitors to delve deeper into our perception and understanding of materials and gain a newfound appreciation for their significance in the objects we create and consume. TRANSCENDENCE will bring together big and small, commercial and research, designers and craftsmen - all idealists, who want to make an impact in manufacturing, sourcing, distribution, and longevity of design.
In keeping with the concept, we are showing our timeless designs and high-quality materials in this exhibition. The ‘Geometri’ by Danish designer Verner Panton is one of his most famous designs. We are also presenting new works by Swiss artist Sonnhild Kestler. All carpets are handmade from Himalayan virgin sheep's wool.
In addition to the carpets, we also present the steps involved in carpet weaving, techniques and materials.
