VÆRKTØJ
Cover image missing

Throughout history, tools have been crucial to humanity’s ability to survive and innovate, from primitive stone tools to advanced machinery, tools have been key to shaping the world. VÆRKTØJ is an exhibition format that aims to communicate and demonstrate how the identities of designers are largely shaped by the tools they use; as tools not only drive the development of ideas and creative processes but also leave a distinct mark on the final product.

VÆRKTØJ 2 : The Workshop Press. The tool that has been selected for this years exhibition and from which all works derive, is the workshop press. Participants: Alvilde Holm, Depping & Jørgensen, Frederik Gustav, John Tree, Jonas Trampedach, Kasper Salto, Michael Antrobus, and Tom Dixon.

Blå Station is a family business located in what used to be a sewing factory in Åhus—on the southeast coast of Sweden, where the ocean is just as restless as they are. Their focus is on on the interiors that surround us—how they are built and how they work. “How do we interact in the public space? Has today's society added new demands? Has our way of socialising changed?” To meet today's demands and desires, Blå Station believes it is necessary to have an open and innovative mind, a child's curiosity as well as a heart that rejects shortcuts and apathy. With curiosity as fuel, they keep searching for the unexpected, yet–to–be discovered. Peace, Love & Good Design.
