For this year's edition of the Cabinetmakers' Autumn Exhibition, or Snedkernes Efterårsudstilling, designers were invited to contribute works that explore the relationship between light and form.
The theme was chosen to reflect this year's venue, the Snøhetta-designed galleries of Museum Ordrupgaard, which house important works of French and Danish art from the 19th and 20th centuries.
"In both impressionism and furniture design, light becomes a means of shaping an atmosphere and creating a sense of presence," the exhibition overview stated.
"While the painters explored the impact of light on colours and atmosphere, designers examine the encounter between light and form, materials and surfaces, as use, function and aesthetic fuse into one, and even minor details and variations in light influence our perception of the furniture."
