Lærke Ryom, Kasper Kyster, Carsten In Der Elst, Didi NG Wing Yin and duo Frederik Gustav are independent and innovative designers who blur the lines between design, craft and architecture. They blend intuitive experimentation with traditional craftsmanship, challenging materials and construction methods to create works that evoke a sense of curiosity and beauty.

Presented as a group exhibition, the six designers — Kasper Kyster, Lærke Ryom, Carsten In Der Elst, Didi NG Wing Yin and duo Frederik Gustav — showcase their work in the setting of Baum und Pferdgarten. The exhibition weaves together themes from Baum’s new Unplugged collection. Spread across five installations throughout the showroom, each curated section contributes to a cohesive experience that celebrates the designers’ individual practices. Through meticulous, slow, and precise craftsmanship, each piece becomes a quiet reflection on the art of deceleration. Guests are invited to linger — to dive into the tactility and diversity of the works, as forms, structures and textures unfold.
