The Mindcraft Project 2026 Opens at Charlottenborg Palace with Ten Denmark-Based Designers
The Mindcraft Project, an annual design exhibition from Denmark that began in 2008, is currently being held at Charlottenborg Palace in Copenhagen from September 23 to 27, 2026. Curated by Jade Chan and Christian Hammer Juhl, this year's exhibition showcases the creations of ten designers based in Denmark. Among the highlights are Freya Dalsjø's Basket and Match Seat, and three pewter lamps by Sigurd Nils Schelde. Hans Severin Jacobsen's sculpture, Untitled, features a 90-kilogram stone mounted on an oak base. Daito Takefusa presents Fragmented Signs (Double Touch B), which imitates stone, while FOS displays a cast-bronze room divider with an organic design. Other featured designers include Anton Hendrik Denys, Lene Bødker, Thomas Woltmann, Anna Søgaard, and Nicholas Shurey, with photography by Benjamin Lund.
