Mindcraft10 by Danish Crafts
The new generation in Danish design on show in Milan MINDCRAFT is the name of the highly acclaimed exhibitions that DANISH CRAFTS has presented in Zona Tortona in connection with the Milan Design Week in recent years. The MINDCRAFT concept was launched in Milan in 2008. Later that year, the exhibition won the prize for “Best Contribution to 100% Design” when presented in London. The MINDCRAFT concept portrays the development from Handcraft to Mindcraft – a new conceptual design attitude among Danish craftspeople where storytelling, reflection and critical comments are combined with craft skills and aesthetic qualities.
