The Sound of Material will explore ideas centred on craftsmanship, techniques and processes. The group exhibition will be focusing on both traditional handwork and innovative practices, the works presented invite and encourage us to engage with them. With this, the exhibition asks us to think about the transformative qualities of the materials present, the intricacy or simplicity of the techniques on display, and to appreciate of the power of the objects present in our lives. Bringing together a dynamic group of designers and makers who work with ceramics, textiles, lighting, furniture, glasswork, paper and more, the exhibition will be curated by Natalia Sánchez.

The Sound of Material represents work from the following designers, architects and artists. Anne Dorthe Vester, Anne Nowak, Ari Prasetya, BACD Studio, Eszter Nagy, Studio Fie Paarup, Filippo Andrighetto, Heidi Lillevang, Karin Carlander, Katrine Blinkenberg, Kibun Projects, Kogl, Miguel Saboya , Monica Cetti, Nina Nørgaard, Poppykalas, Russo Betak, Sebastian Holmbäck, Sissel Gram Warringa, Snedker Studio/Elisa Strozyk, Tale Berger Hølmebakk, Thibault Philip, Tine Otto Studio, Tortus, 808:Studio.
