Danish Crafts in Short

Danish Crafts profiles quality Danish craft. Our work is aimed at branding Danish craft and design at an international level and helping professional craft artists and designers gain a foothold in the international market.

Our objective is to promote knowledge of Danish craft at home and abroad while increasing sales and contributing to general professionalization within this field.

Danish Crafts is an institution established under the Danish Ministry of Culture, but a number of our activities target the commercial sector. For instance we market crafts commercially by participating in international trade fairs.

We consider crafts to be the avant-garde of design since crafts constitute the exploratory, innovative part of the Danish design world. Crafts take their cue from free artistic practice while possessing skills and competencies which may be highly significant for innovation in Danish production companies.
