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 3—This year’s exhibition focuses on the sewing machine, which serves as the starting point for all works. Participants: Erwan Bouroullec, Frederik Gustav, Foster + Partners Industrial Design, Jonas Trampedach, Kasper Salto, Louise Campbell, Lærke Ryom, Michael Antrobus, Pearson Lloyd, Sia Hurtigkarl.

Sausset Leou is an architecture studio born from the affinity of its founders, grounded in a poetic, vernacular, and radical approach to spatial design. During their architectural studies at ENSA Paris Val de Seine, Kim and Rémy worked together on alternative design projects through shared studio workshops. Sausset Leou asserts a rigorous sensibility and a precise sense of poetry. Their approach combines formal rigour with narrative freedom, rejecting hierarchies between building typologies. Each project is conceived as a sensitive reinterpretation of the history of places and people. The aim is to make beauty accessible to everyone, without distinction.
