Summary
The third edition of the annual Værktøj exhibition, held during 3 Days of Design, explores how tools inform the design process. Designers including Erwan Bouroullec, Louise Campbell, Foster + Partners, and Jonas Trampedach used sewing machines as their primary tool to create objects for the exhibition. Founded in 2024 by Frederik Weber, Gustav Dupont, Jonas Trampedach, Kasper Salto, and Michael Antrobus, the Værktøj platform investigates the relationship between tools and design outcomes. Notable works include Bouroullec's crumpled Tyvek sofa, showcasing how the sewing machine constraint led to innovative material exploration and forms.
