When Majken Mann graduated from The Danish Design School, product and textile studies, in 2004, she was one of 15 newly graduated designers who were nominated for ‘15 most wanted – NEXT GENERATION’ by Wallpaper. Since then, she has exhibited in the 2007 Biennale, at New Note – Formland in 2008 and at Cooper Hewitt, National Design Museum, NYC 2009. Majken Mann is generally very inspired by working with function versus form and by working with a limited very set of effects. “Form follows function” – which was also the point of departure for Laid Table, her collection of tablecloths for CC13. Here, she took on the challenge of simplifying the expression in relation to use and employ that feature decoratively. Majken Mann uses a simple, graphic expression – typically as contours in the combinations of simple elements. She often uses new technology (laser) to cut felt, wool and wood, and always strives to push the envelope of the material or the form to the extreme.
