The Sociable Kitchen® by Kvik
As a company that makes and sells Danish design kitchens in more than 190 stores in 12 countries, we think a lot about Danish design. In our first series, we’re going to be taking a closer look at Danish design - talking to designers, artists, activists and thinkers who will help us figure out where Danish design has been and where it’s headed.
So, if you’re curious about Danish design, come along for the ride.

5 — Co-creation in Danish design — Part 1
Thank you for coming with us on this journey through Danish design. One of the things that came up again and again in my conversations was the notion of co-creation. And what is co-creation, you ask? In a way it's a collaboration - you invite a diverse group of people with different knowledge and talents into a room and everyone contributes to solving the task at hand. Everyone’s unique perspective is taken into account and the solution is thereby co-created.
In this episode, we speak to textile designer Astrid Skibsted about two projects she recently co-created, Lise Thomsen from the Confederation of Danish Industry about Bang & Olufsen's design process, as well as Sune Kjems from the Danish Design Council about his own culinary journey towards co-creating in the kitchen.
