CC12 - Hands on!

Visual identity for the Crafts Collection 12 – Hands On!

Every year since 1999 Danish Crafts have presented a collection showing some of the best design and crafts from Denmark. The collection titled Crafts Collection aims to promote Danish crafts internationally and the products that are selected by changing curators appointed by Danish Crafts are exhibited at international fairs and shows abroad. The collection theme for CC12 Hands On! was commitment and ethics. The simple reduction of Crafts Collection to CC formed the basis and character of the visual identity we produced. Curator and architect Karen Kjærgaard curated the selection of products from 24 young Danish designer makers. The collection was shown in Frankfurt and New York.

The Jørgen Leth Collection

Graphic identity, design and packaging of the Jørgen Leth DVD box series. The series is a collection of the documantary, fiction and interview films of Jørgen Leth.

In 2007, the Danish Film Institute, with funding from danish investor Møllehegnet Holding A/S, began the extensive work of collecting the fiction films, documentaries and interviews of acclaimed danish writer, journalist, film director and lecturer Jørgen Leth. The final selection of Jørgen Leth´s life work, which spans from the early 1960´s through to present day was compiled into a series of six DVD-boxes. The final selection covered the different areas of his productions and were ordered under these six titles – The Anthropological Films, The Sport Films, The Travel Films, The Fiction Films, The Portrait Films and The Experimental Films. The idea that Jørgen Leth as a film maker and as a cultural persona is too big to fit into a DVD-box, set the main tone for the collections graphic identity. This concept was visualised by arranging the typography in a way that it crosses the limits of the format.
