Danish Design Days in Saint-Petersburg
Our team staged and held the Danish Design Days exhibition in the famous Saint-Petersburg Stieglitz State Academy of Art and Design in order to popularize Danish design in Russia.
We wanted to show the versatility of the Scandinavian style through small installations with visual examples that would inspire the usage of these items in any interior. The atmosphere of Danish design was conveyed by the contrast between the luxurious interior of the Academy and a sharp immersion in the minimalist environment of Scandinavia.
The agenda of the event included several round-tables and lectures on topics such as:
● From minimalistic graphic line to a sculptural aesthetic in Danish design
● Aesthetic of simplicity in Danish design
● Product development process of industrial design: from idea to bestseller
● Light as Danish design tool
● Embodiment of Danish design traditions in public spaces projects of worldwide designers
● Danish design in Russia. Interaction of two countries against the backdrop of global trend in the sphere of industrial and environmental design
● Scandinavian design in public interiors: features, trends and examples
Among other things, the event site hosted an exhibition of works by students of the Stieglitz Academy, as well as an interactive zone of decorative plaster from Interior Decor and a master class on hand knitting throws from Mopsman, the design houses for animals. The photo zone-showcase from Frotelli company joint with the 5 Stars flower base and a special partner, the concept-store L’Appartement began the icing on the event cake.
