Danish Design Makers on
Blind Date at Orgatec 2024
This year’s design challenge hosted by Danish Design Makers is about breaking with conventional collaboration methods between companies and designers. The concept is based on the blind date, meaning that participating companies participating designers do not know who each other is until the big reveal at ORGATEC fair in Cologne on October 22nd.
Danish Design Makers is an alliance of designers with different nationalities, but all with strong ties to the Danish design tradition. Each year, they host a design challenge that all designers can apply to participate in.
This year, they have asked a number of furniture companies to write an anonymous brief on a piece of furniture they would like to see come alive through the hands of an unknown designer. 12 anonymous briefs have then been randomly distributed between the 19 design teams.
On top of the blind date challenge, the project also includes an overall theme which is reduction – and this is where Målbar comes into the picture. All designers have gained access to our climate screening tool to be able reduce the climate footprint of their designs.
Målbar has interviewed each designer about their design process, thoughts about the project, the theme, and their work with our tool.
On this page, you can dive into all these creative minds. And when the Blind Date has been revealded at ORGATEC on October 22nd, the articles will be updated with the climate results and reflections on these.
25 designers

“I wish to create a calm environment in the exhibition, where people can explore. We have 19 designers and design duos exhibiting their design, and we have Målbar who also has an important role on the stand. Then we have the Blind Date concept and the overall theme of reduction that we want to communicate about as well. So, we have a lot to communicate on our exhibition stand”
