From handicraft to industry – Den Nya Kartan / The New Map is showcasing the possibilities of local collaborations, between industries and designers/artists. The first round of Den Nya Kartan took place in the province of Skåne, with 24 different collaborations. As the exhibition moves to Vandalorum (museum of contemporary art and design in Värnamo, Småland, Sweden) the time has come for the province of Småland – well known for its large number of small industries – and the start-up of 16 new collaborations. Andreas Klippinge Design is happy to have been selected as one of the sixteen designer/artists to participate, teamed up together with industrial wood workshop Ljungsåsa, specialized in exclusive tabletops for home and public environment.

The exhibition is curated by Jenny Nordberg: Den Nya Kartan is a contribution to the debate on how local and small-scale production can be part of a sustainable society. Invitations to participate were sent out to designers and manufacturers. The invitations were preceded by a match-making exercise where we looked at earlier projects and skills and created constellations that felt exciting and challenging for everyone involved.
