Exhibition 2023

We are pleased to announce that this year Tableau will be responsible for the exhibition design of one&twenty. Julius Værnes Iversen, founder of Tableau, drew inspiration for the exhibition design from the architectural language and building materials of Milan. The exhibition will be on display from April 17 to 23, 2023, on the occasion of the Salone del Mobile 2023 in Milan.

TABLEAU is a multidisciplinary creative studio and gallery. Founded as a flower shop in Copenhagen in 2018 by florist Julius Værnes Iversen, the studio works to deconstruct established ideas of design. Alongside its gallery that promotes emerging artists, TABLEAU designs objects, sets, interiors and architectural installations. Their approach is to source collaborators globally to break down barriers between art and design. Past work includes projects for Tom Dixon, Vogue, and Copenhagen Contemporary amongst others.

Boris Peianov is an architect and visual artist based in Copenhagen. Currently he heads concept development in architectural design and installations at TABLEAU. With a background within BIM for architectural restoration, he has previously worked and studied in Copenhagen, Milan and Belgrade. Boris Peianov, co-designer of the design and project manager for the Milan exhibition, is enthusiastic about the works of the winners: "These are exciting projects - that's exactly the kind we would also show in our own gallery.

About time, inspiration and work

Stephen Burks, Stephen Burks Man Made

"The projects that truly appealed to me were innovative in simple ways that evolved traditional techniques into unique concepts that have commercial potential. In the end, we have to remember successful products ultimately have two audiences. Both the manufacturer or brand and end consumer or user have to be served, while we as the designers also have to consider the larger arc of what we make and why."

Carole Baijings, Scholten & Baijings

"Great to see quite some talented designers from all over the world designing interesting products that are at the same time poetic, authentic and functional. A joy to review!"

Daniera ter Haar, Christoph Brach, Raw Color

"Many young designers feel the need to create something of social relevance. This can be a concept that deals with good ways of production, supporting a community or trying to make a change within existing systems."

Marcel Besau, Studio Besau-Marguerre

"Be open. Go your own way. Try to experiment with all the things you want to do."

Barbara Friedrich, Design journalist

"Creativity is not conceivable without self-reflection."

Daniera ter Haar, Christoph Brach, Raw Color

"Many new design trends, whether it is in concept or materialisation, have a clear human centred motivation."

Nina Bruun, Freelance consultant

"I tell myself that the design industry has become increasingly better at thinking on producing sustainable (and yes, we can certainly get even better), using local materials and having respect for good design. Rather small and good steps than non at all! I really hope it’s an approach that continues in an enhanced form."
