Your natural starting point at Copenhagen Design Week will be Kvæsthusmolen by The Royal Danish Playhouse where exhibitions, morning talks etc. gives you the ”Think Human” story. Here we exhibit Moving Textiles – a furniture project by students at The Royal Danish Academy School of Design. So join us down by the harbour.
Moving Textiles is a small exhibition showing new playful ways of using textiles within furniture: Students from The Danish Design School each give their individual bid on the modern upholstered furniture, where experiments meet comfort and free play sessions meet known techniques. The dogma behind the project was that the padding should dictate the future shape of the chair rather being something that was put on when the shape was created.
The project was shown for the first time at Stockholm Furniture Fair 2011 – where FRAME Magazine made a feature on the exhibition:
“The mission was to investigate the language of textile structures and translate it into static structures.” - Lecturer Andreas Lund.
“It was an inspiring process as we were students from the furniture, textile and product design programs at The Danish Design School, all working together. It became a very creative atmosphere were we helped each other with the intense projects.” - Student Åsa Kärner.
