The Mindcraft Project is a platform for explorative and experimental design from Denmark, led by Copenhagen Design Agency (CDA).
Since 2008, The Mindcraft Project has worked to elevate Danish designers and makers by showcasing them to a global audience. For more than a decade, The Mindcraft Project presented Danish craft and design in annual exhibitions at Milan Design Week. Today, The Mindcraft Project is a digital platform with a considerable international following. The platform offers exclusive designer profiles, videos, online exhibitions, and interviews that highlight designers and makers from Denmark.
The combination of the words ‘Mind’ and ‘Craft’ highlights the essence of the project. It is a field that merges experimental, innovative, and conceptual design approaches with material knowledge and craftsmanship. The Danish designers and makers address future challenges and opportunities, and inspire to new ways of thinking, making, and living.
