Collection by Kelsey Keith
New Pieces from Danish Crafts Collection
Danish Crafts, an organization dedicated to launching the careers of emerging designers and sharing Denmark's design with the world, showed its latest collection at Maison&Objet.
Mette Duedahl wanted to take the best elements of two everyday items (stoneware and the traditional, glass French coffee press) and transfer them to a contemporary context. He updated the materials with a shell made of dyed stoneware casting slip, an extraordinarily tactile, smooth-to-the-touch material. The coffee jugs have a plunger in stainless steel and a Plexiglas lid with a beech wood knob.
