“The idea behind FIFTY FIFTY is to return to SE’s (Snedkernes Efterårsudstilling / Cabinetmakers Autumn) original concept, where the responsibility is shared equally by designer and manufacturer,” says, Klaus Brügmann, president of the organisation. “We aim to focus more on the process and to let the outcome speak for itself. The collaboration is scheduled to last six months to enable an extensive work process and the achievement of synergy through the combination of the designer’s creative universe and the manufacturer’s understanding and know-how concerning commercial conditions and materials.”
