As a part of the Voices of Culture, Design denmark is proud to launch our recommendations to the European Commission in the Brainstorming Report ‘Culture and Creative Sectors and Industries driving Green Transition and facing the Energy Crisis’.
What the world needs now more than our Danish modesty is our craft, our humanity, and our optimism.
In a world of uncertainty design must inspire possibility by continuously advancing beyond our craft to create positive impact and add new value, as a mindset of how we as humans engage the world. It points to a better tomorrow shaped by our actions today.
A future not only imagined, but what we make of it.
Design is possibility in the making.
Design denmark is about community. It is about giving and sharing resources, knowledge, and energy. Forming bonds of trust and friendships – not only between designers but also between design and the world. It is about years and years of experience and the grand visions of the young. It is about the importance of design for the world of tomorrow.
Design excellence is obtained through deep inspiration,
courage, and the ability to bridge current ways of thinking and doing with the
needs and dreams of tomorrow. In critical times like now gathering and sharing
design excellence might be one of the most important ways to strive for a
regenerative future. Together we can explore how design entangles with and
moves the world, and how we as designers make ourselves parts of new
entanglements and more-than-human paradigms.
As a member association with a wide diversity in design disciplines, small and big studios, different approaches to business, we have in common an indisputable knowledge of design. This is the base we work from to safeguard that design is respected and grow; we support each other in this, as colleagues, and on a legal level in a larger perspective – this creates visibility in the community we work in and for.
