pMaking us Americans jealous yet again with their incredible government funding, a href=”http://www.danishcrafts.org”Danish Crafts/a, a prime example of the kind of support Denmark bestows upon its designers, will roll out the new Crafts Collection, a href=”http://www.craftscollection.dk/grouping/show/37″CC14/a, at Maison Objet in September. This marks the fourteenth Crafts Collection, a curated selection intended to support and promote Danish designer-makers, connecting them with buyers, producers, and manufacturers through international trade shows. /p

pThis year’s collection was curated by London-based designer Nina Tolstrup with a theme based in sustainability, and how it is good for business at all levels, from maker, to seller, to consumer. Twenty-eight designers created objects loosely interpreting the concept “re-think, re-duce, re-craft,” using ceramic, glass, textiles, furniture and jewelry. Many of the resulting objects not only display the superior craft abilities of the designers, but also carry poetic responses to the sustainability theme./pa href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/cc14_crafty_danish_designers_17243.asp”(more…)/a
