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.

By KlipKlap designs adapt to both time and individual needs—what the brand calls 'design for generations.' This philosophy stems from the belief that furniture lasts longer when it supports a multifunctional way of living. Founded in 2010, By KlipKlap began with the purpose of enhancing and stimulating children’s motor skills through multifunctional mattresses. Each piece is crafted using durable textiles and high-quality foam that retains its shape, even after years of extensive use. The mattresses can be folded in various ways, encouraging hours of activity and quality time for all family members. From essential tummy time for babies to toddler play, teenage lounging, and even serving as a guest bed, the designs evolve with every stage of life.
