The Association of Cabinetmakers

Was founded in 1992 for the purpose of upholding the tradition of good craftsmanship, of further developing it and putting it on display. In the course of time we have challenged ourselves - and hopefully others - through exhibitions of cabinetmaking techniques. We have created a valuable network exchanging knowledge and inspiring each other and promoting our trade, so rich in tradition.

Previous exhibitions

1993: ”Thoughts about a Craft” – exhibition at the Scandinavian Furniture Fair in Bella Center. The exhibition was a display of a variety of different kinds of wood and joinery, and a fantastic chest of drawers made form a tree trunk.

1995: Internal competition to make a box. The results were exhibited by Børge Schiang and judged by three external judges.

1997: ”God is in the Detail” – exhibition as guests of The Cabinetmakers Autumn Exhibition ’97 at the Danish Museum of Art and Design, examples of complicated joinery, Japanese sliding doors and veneers, and a roller shutter racing track.

1998: Collaboration with the The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture; a collaboration between a student and a cabinetmaker to make a piece of furniture. The finished products were exhibited at Ledreborg Castle. The idea has since been adapted by others in projects like “Walk the Plank” and ”Skud på stammen”.

2002: Ten years anniversary. Exhibition of cupboards with a personal touch. 11 cupboards were exhibited at The Danish Museum of Art and Design, Trapholt, museum for art, design and handicraft, and in Sweden, Norway and Tasmania.
