The MINDCRAFT12 works
	The Dandies by benandsebastian A spatial installation that reflects, distorts and reshapes its context.
	Ash by Thomas Bentzen A chair made with a minimal use of materials and tools. The seat and back of the chair are bent by hand and glued onto the frame.
	Papercuts by Louise Campbell A series of lamps made in paper. When the material is delicate, so is the light.
	Hook by Line Depping A coat hook that accommodates the casual as well as the neat and tidy.
	In Your Big Sunny Window by Anne Fabricius Møller A 30-metre length of textile rolled up in an acrylic case. The fabric will show signs of fading as the years pass.

	Georg by Christina Liljenberg Halstrøm A carefully crafted stool with a wool cushion kept in place by a leather lace.
	Space Meter by Eske Rex A string stretched by magnetic force between two walls. Floating and seemingly overruling gravity.

	Fictile 12.1 by Anne Tophøj A sensuous breakfast set with different colours, qualities and treatments.
