Stine Mikkelsen presents Archetypes, an exhibition on view at Frederiksgade 1, that reflects the evolution of an idea — from an artistic statement to objects for everyday use. The exhibition introduces a new collection of furniture and lighting designed for production, marking an expansion of Mikkelsen’s practice beyond limited-edition gallery pieces. Central to the presentation is Semble — a previously developed conceptual bench that served as the foundation for the entire collection. This original work, characterized by soft, sculptural forms and a subtle interplay of space, has been reinterpreted into a series of refined, functional objects. Crafted exclusively in ash wood and stainless steel, the pieces are the result of a material investigation into contrast, tactility, and production potential. By exploring the inherent qualities of each material, Mikkelsen has created a collection that bridges artistic expression and industrial feasibility — demonstrating how a conceptual idea can evolve into a commercially viable product.

About
Stine Mikkelsen
Graduating with a Master's Degree in Textile Design from Design School Kolding in Denmark, Stine Mikkelsen is a Danish designer working at the intersection of design, art, and craftsmanship. Exploring materiality and tactility, her objects combine a sculptural interpretation of form with material innovations and research, with a focus on artistic principles re-contextualised into sculptural and functional objects. Her unique approach melds craft and design, with research-based experimentation – resulting in a portfolio spanning conceptual and unique objects to commercially viable furniture and lighting. Mikkelsen's work is regularly featured within curated exhibitions both locally and internationally, earning her practice numerous awards for its exploratory approach to contemporary design. Through research-driven processes, she reinterprets everyday objects, pushing the boundaries of traditional form and function.
