The Future is Handmade

The exhibition “ The Future is Handmade “, curated by Petra Lilja, shows 46 design objects that in some way relates to craft or the handmade process. Examples from the 70’s when radical designers such as Erik Höglund was inspired by folk craft when he designed furniture, to the 90’s when a number of young designers seriously started experimenting, such as Droog Design, M/M Paris and Sandra Backlund. Today, craft is one of the most important driving forces in the design world, and many of the most prominent young designers refer in different ways to traditional craft. Like for example, Hilda Hellström, Kiki Van Eyck, Anders Lagombra Jacobsen, Tobias Alm, and others.
