Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild represents the legacy and future of Danish craftsmanship. Founded on centuries of tradition, the guild brings together master cabinetmakers who blend artistry, precision, and innovation in wood. Each creation reflects a deep respect for natural materials and the pursuit of enduring quality. Through exhibitions and collaborations, the guild celebrates the dialogue between heritage and contemporary design, showcasing how Danish craftsmanship continues to shape modern living. Established in 1554, it remains a cornerstone of Danish craft culture.

Carpentry Craft 2026 highlights the next generation of Danish craftsmanship through its most ambitious exhibition to date. Focusing on apprentices and newly graduated cabinetmakers, the show unites tradition, innovation, and artistry in wood. Visitors will experience a dialogue between classic techniques and modern design across themes of mastery, technology, and artistic expression. As both a cultural event and an educational platform, the exhibition celebrates craftsmanship as a living art form and inspires young talents to shape the future of Danish design.

Garde Hvalsøe has, since 1990, created kitchens and interiors shaped by hand, material, and architectural intent. Each project begins with natural materials and the people who will live with it. Made to order, every detail is considered in relation to its purpose and surroundings. Rooted in Danish craftsmanship, the work reflects a belief in making things properly, allowing time, technique, and material to define the result. Interiors made to be used, to age, and to remain.

Many of her designs are based on foundational structures or pieces of art, while others form part of a collection. For this exhibition, nature is not merely an inspiration but an integral part of the essence of the works and of the installation, created in collaboration with Dýpi – an ocean paint made from calcareous algae harvested in Iceland.
