Going live from today, the Dezeen x The Mindcraft Project 2021 collaboration showcases new work by Danish designers each day until 26 March.
Presented by the Copenhagen Design Agency (CDA), The Mindcraft Project appeared as an annual exhibition at Milan design week from 2008 to 2018. CDA relaunched the project as a digital-only exhibition last year and is going digital again in 2021.

The design exhibition focuses on Danish practitioners working at the frontier of new fabrication technologies, while carrying forward the materials and processes of traditional craft.
The Mindcraft Project’s new interactive show features the work of ten inventive designers and studios from Denmark
The Mindcraft Project, a platform for explorative and experimental Danish design led by Copenhagen Design Agency, has launched new digital exhibition. Featuring ten designers and studios from Denmark, the virtual exhibition aims to showcase forward-thinking and conceptual design approaches blended with craftsmanship and material knowledge.
The exhibited projects include Stine Mikkelsen’s In-tangibles (2021) – three hand-formed items created from crushed stone and natural fish glue – which explore the emotional resonance objects can have within our daily lives. The shapes of the objects are inspired by rarely used, yet emotionally significant keepsakes from Mikkelsen’s own family: a candy bowl, a brooch and a sleigh bell.
