Nanna Ditzel's contribution to Danish design overlooked "because she was a woman"
Nanna Ditzel should be regarded as one of Denmark's best designers but has been "forgotten," according to speakers at a panel discussion hosted by Dezeen in collaboration with furniture brand Fredericia.
"She was considered the punk woman of Danish design," said Fredericia owner Thomas Graversen. "All the younger generation didn't dare to do what she did."
But he added that she was "more or less forgotten in Denmark".
"I have to conclude she was forgotten and probably because she was a woman," said Anders Byriel, CEO of Danish textile brand Kvadrat.
"I think she's in the top five Danish designers. She's up there with the big masters."

Ditzel, who died in 2005 aged 82, designed products for both Fredericia and Kvadrat and Graversen and Byriel knew her personally.
"Sometimes she took things further than maybe you thought you could do technically," said Graversen.
"She was taught as a cabinet maker but was truly an industrial designer," he added. "She designed maybe the most famous trains in Denmark; she did all this wonderful jewellery for Georg Jensen; she did a lot of household stuff like bowls and textiles."
"If you study her back catalogue, she has designed almost everything we use in daily life."
Ditzel deserved to be counted among design icons
Graversen and Byriel discussed the late designer's legacy at Fredericia's London showroom on 17 March in a conversation moderated by Dezeen's founder and editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs.
Both argued that Ditzel deserved to be counted amongst Danish design icons such as Hans J Wegner, Arne Jacobsen and Verner Panton.
Born in Copenhagen in 1923, Ditzel trained to become a cabinetmaker before going on to study at the Royal Academy in Copenhagen where she would meet her husband Jørgen Ditzel. They formed a design studio and worked together until his death in 1961.
"Jørgen died in 1961 when he was only 40 years old but when they were a couple, the attention was very much on Jørgen because he was the man. So after he died, she sort of stepped in and was in charge of everything herself," Graversen explained.

Together with her husband, Ditzel designed products across a range of disciplines including furniture, textiles, wallpaper and homeware.
"People were living their daily lives maybe not knowing it was all designed by Nanna," Graversen said.
Following the death of her husband, Ditzel continued designing a slew of furniture and objects throughout her career including jewellery for Georg Jensen, several furniture pieces for Fredericia, including the 1993 Trinidad chair, and Kvadrat's first and best-selling textile Hallingdal.
Breaking free of restrictive design rules
Belonging to a generation of designers that followed icons such as Arne Jacobsen, Børge Mogensen and Hans J Wegner, Ditzel studied under the influential designer Kaare Klint at the Danish School of Arts and Crafts in 1942 and graduated as a cabinetmaker in 1943.
"She broke out of these very restrictive and formal rules of design that Klint was teaching," Graversen stated.
"If you saw the Trinidad chair in 1993 when it came out, it looked like something never seen before," he added. "Everyone was buying Jacobsen's Series 7 chair or the Ant chair but then suddenly someone dared to put ornamentation on a chair."

After the death of Jørgen Ditzel, Ditzel relocated to London where she ran the Interspace furniture store in Hampstead together with her second husband Kurt Heide until his death in 1985, after which she returned to Denmark.
Ditzel began working with Fredericia in 1989, designing several pieces such as the Bench for Two-seat and the Trinidad chair. She became the brand's second in-house designer after Mogensen.
"She came with a more sensitive kind of design to this very masculine Mogensen and Wegner era that everyone knew at the time and that was a lucky strike for us," Graversen explained.

In 1965 Ditzel designed Hallingdal, Kvadrat's very first fabric, which it describes as "the archetype of woollen textiles".
"She was our first influential colourist," Byriel said. "A very important contribution for us and I think one of the most important colourists from the 1960s together with Verner Panton – at least from Scandinavia," he added.
Readjustment of the canon
The reevaluation of Ditzel's impact on Danish design history is part of a wider reassessment of design and architecture history in recent years, acknowledging the impact of women whose work has historically been overlooked in favour of their male peers.

Examples include Lilly Reich, a Bauhaus professor who spent over a decade collaborating with architect Mies van der Rohe, Aino Marsio-Aalto, the wife and collaborator of architect Alvar Aalto, and Denise Scott Brown, the partner and widow of architect Robert Venturi who was excluded from her husband's 1991 Pritzker Prize recognition.
"In contemporary art, there's an adjustment of history, where you're going back and asking if we need to adjust the canon," Byriel said.
The panel argued that Ditzel's work served as a link between the canon of mid-century Danish design and a more contemporary generation of designers in Denmark, including Cecilie Manz and Maria Bruun.

"She was probably one of the links from the people who built mid-century [design]," Byriel said.
"I think that there will be a new generation who will look to her as their rock star," Graversen added.
Fredericia is a Danish furniture brand founded in 1911. Besides Ditzel, the brand also produces the designs of iconic Danish designers such as Mogensen and Wegner, as well as the work of contemporary designers including Manz and Jasper Morrison.

The World Around "speaks about design as current affairs" says Beatrice Galilee
Dezeen has teamed up with The World Around to live-stream its 2022 summit on 5 February. Ahead of the conference, founder Beatrice Galilee explains the summit's focus and forecasts the changes she expects to see in the design industry this year.
The 2022 edition of architecture symposium The World Around will cover a wide range of contemporary topics including the rights of forests and trees to whether refugee camps should achieve world heritage status.
According to founder Galilee, this is part of an attempt to "disentangle contemporary architecture from the narrative of a primarily western canon".
"We try to use The World Around as a way to speak about design as current affairs, not just describing objects or buildings," Galilee told Dezeen.
"This year we are seeing more and more people working to unpack and understand the intensely complicated world we are living in."
Speakers at this year's conference include curator Lesley Lokko, who will present a new educational platform in Ghana called the African Futures Initiative, author Amitav Ghosh, who will discuss his new book the Nutmeg's Curse, and film director Matthew Heineman, who will focus on his documentary about the pandemic in New York called First Wave.
Above: Beatrice Galilee founded The World Around in 2020. Top: a photograph of Josh Begley's short film Best of Luck with the Wall, which was screened at the 2020 summit
The 2022 edition of The World Around is the third annual summit organised by the non-profit organisation, which was founded by Galilee in 2020 with the aim of deepening architectural discourse.
Dezeen previously live streamed the inaugural symposium in 2020 and the 2021 summit, in addition to the In Focus: Land series of talks The World Around hosted last year and a collaboration as part of Virtual Design Festival to mark Earth Day in 2020.
The World Around 2022 summit will be live-streamed on Dezeen on 5 February.
Read on for an interview with Galilee about The World Around and her plans for the summit below.
Dezeen: What is The World Around and why did you start it?
Beatrice Galilee: Someone once said The World Around was like a first draft of architectural history, which I really like. We create public programmes that bring together the most recent, important, influential, and emerging global architects, designers, and artists and ask them to share their work in a very short and accessible way.
I was the first architecture and design curator at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and during the five years I was there, I tried to develop an effective way of regularly and impactfully communicating contemporary architecture and design. I organised a series of public programmes, 'In Our Time', and an annual all-day conference, 'A Year of Architecture in a Day' that we live-streamed on Dezeen.
Before The Met, I had been travelling all over the world working as a curator for biennales in China, Korea, and Portugal, had worked on really fun events for Milan Design Week, and had also started The Gopher Hole, my own space in London with aberrant architecture. The World Around is kind of a hybrid of all those curatorial experiences!
It brings what I learned from working with large, slow organisations and the fast-paced experimental spirit of biennales. We started just before the pandemic in January 2020, so things have changed quite a bit since our first event.
The inaugural edition of The World Around took place in New York in 2020
Dezeen: How did things change since your first event in January 2020?
Beatrice Galilee: It was a huge financial challenge to survive. As a brand new public charity, we don't have our own physical space, certainly not an auditorium, and so I decided to create collaborations with institutions that can host and broadcast those events. During the first few weeks of the pandemic, we worked with the team at Dezeen who hosted the Virtual Design Festival and organised our first 'Earth Day' public programme.
We then developed a residency model with the Guggenheim Museum in New York who hosted our annual summit last year and will be hosting our annual summit on 5 February this year, and we are now also in partnership with Het Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam. They are our first European partner, and we are working with them on a big event for 11 June, and we are talking to a few other international institutions about how we can collaborate with them too.
After the live event, we can then make the presentations into short films on our website so they're free and accessible to everyone. As an itinerant model, we're keen to partner with institutions all over the world to ensure we're raising awareness of the role architecture and design can play in critical conversations, as well as sharing inspiring stories of international designers, thinkers, and makers.
Previous editions of The World Around featured research by Julia Watson into indigenous architectural technologies
Dezeen: What do you think are the big shifts we'll see in the architecture and design sector this year? Where can the sector help global issues?
Beatrice Galilee: We try to use The World Around as a way to speak about design as current affairs, not just describing objects or buildings. This year we are seeing more and more people working to unpack and understand the intensely complicated world we are living in.
We have author Amitav Ghosh speaking about his new book the Nutmeg's Curse, film director Matthew Heineman will be speaking about his new documentary First Wave about the pandemic in New York, and Lesley Lokko will be presenting the African Futures Initiative, a new educational platform in Ghana.
In the past we have had Caroline Criado Perez speaking about design, data, and gender and BlackSpace urban collective sharing their work for Black architects and urbanists in the US, we have had programs discussing land and indigenous rights in the US.
Speakers at previous editions of The World Around include architect Junya Ishigami
Dezeen: What can you tell us about this year's summit? What is the focus?
Beatrice Galilee: The summit is always a round-up of all that happened over the past year. So we don't have a specific thematic focus, it just emerges after examining all the interesting projects and activities of the year.
One thing that really stands out is a sense of responsibility amongst designers and practitioners to disentangle contemporary architecture from the narrative of a primarily western canon. What architecture becomes history and why? What is preserved and for whom? Should a refugee camp achieve world heritage status? What are the rights of trees and forests? How can we use technology - games, apps, digital projects - to have a meaningful impact on lives and spaces?
Dezeen: Where would you like The World Around to be in five years?
Beatrice Galilee: We have lots of plans for the future! I would love to see The World Around organising events in many new cities and spaces, developing long-term collaborations with major global institutions.
The World Around takes place online on 5 February. See Dezeen Events Guide for an up-to-date list of architecture and design events taking place around the world.

Design should "be part of life and not separate from it" says Bruce Mau
Dezeen promotion: successful design means designing for nature and is "one of the greatest business opportunities in the history of mankind," according to designer and CEO of Massive Change Network Bruce Mau.
Mau is a Canadian-born designer, author and teacher who has worked with leading international brands including Coca-Cola. His Chicago-based design consultancy The Massive Change Network (MCN) uses design-thinking methodology to help develop sustainable solutions to global problems.
In his talk How Design Can Change the World, delivered during Business of Design Week (BODW) 2021 in Hong Kong, Mau focused on how designers can help create sustainable ways of living. The designer believes that empathy is key to the design process as it helps with problem-solving.
"Empathy is really at the core of everything I do," explained Mau. "When you think about what a designer does, we start with empathy and try to understand the problem that helps us solve it."
Bruce Mau says that "design should be part of life and not separate from it".
According to Mau, modern design practices have not previously had empathy for the environment. Instead, things are designed as if humans own nature, the designer said.
"Everything is designed as if we own nature and as if we're not part of nature," said Mau. "As if nature is unlimited."
In contrast, Mau discussed his enterprise design method, which he says is underpinned by empathy and an understanding of natural ecosystems and human behaviour.
Mau's design method is called enterprise design
Enterprise design contains 24 design principles and is centered on designing for life as a whole rather than focusing purely on the benefits to humans. Mau also explores this concept in his latest book called MC24, which intends to change the way readers think about design.
Mau discussed a few of the principles at Business of Design Week 2021, including leading by design, which he explains is a way of imagining and executing a vision during the design process.
"The first principle is design leadership," said Mau. "In other words, design is a leadership methodology, a way of imagining a future and systemically executing that vision. Designers have the ability to produce that vision and systematically execute that vision."
Enterprise design contains 24 design principles
Mau also talks about a second principle of his design philosophy, which states that design is not above or separate from nature.
"We now understand there is a real limit to the boundaries of nature," he explained during the talk. "Everything we do has to be designed in this new way. It has to be designed to be part of life and not separate from it."
"It is daunting, but it's also one of the greatest business opportunities in the history of mankind, the opportunity to take on that level of reset."
Mau believes that design education must take on a different approach and "unlearn a human-centric approach"
In addition, Mau believes that design education must "unlearn a human-centric approach." Similar to his design theory, Mau thinks that design education should be focused on how to integrate design into the natural world.
"Most cities are designed to push nature out," Mau explained. "We have to get to a better place – we have to think about ourselves integrated into the natural world, and that challenges us to do everything differently."
"We need a methodology that understands the problem in context and we need to design at an ecosystem level."
Designers need to "design at an ecosystem level" says Bruce Mau
Business of Design Week took place in Hong Kong, held from 29 November to 4 December 2021. Hong Kong Design Centre organises the annual event and it provides a platform for creative and business leaders to exchange ideas.

Watch our live talk exploring the role of designers in environmental activism
To coincide with Greenpeace's 50th anniversary, Dezeen teamed up with Michael Green Architecture and Greenpeace to host a live talk to discuss the relationship between design and activism.
The talk, titled Design, Activism and Impact, was moderated by Dezeen's founder and editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs, and explored whether designers are doing enough to resolve environmental concerns or whether are they complicit in exacerbating them.

Greenpeace was founded 50 years ago in Vancouver, Canada, with the ambition to stop nuclear testing and then joined the fight to prevent whale hunting.
Since then, the organisation has evolved into a global environmental movement that addresses widespread issues such as climate change, social inequity and threatened democracy.
Reflecting on the organisation's 50 years of activism, the panel explored where designers and architects fit into the wider conversation of environmental justice and what more can be done by the design industry to address the climate emergency.

Dezeen promotion: Serpentine Pavilion architect Sumayya Vally was among the creatives who participated in a recent event hosted by MYTH and Therme Art to discuss the importance of gathering and creative production on mental wellbeing. Watch highlights from the event here.
Titled Communion, the event is part of Therme Art's talks programme called Wellbeing Culture Forum, which was "devised in response to the ongoing pandemic and the ensuing global crisis".
Taking place at the Serpentine Pavilion 2021 last month, it aimed to explore the ways in which art, architecture, and culture can have a positive impact on urban communities and the natural world.
The event focused on the importance of gathering and creative production on mental wellbeing
The first conversation at Communion was moderated by journalist Yomi Adegoke and featured Vally alongside artist Torkwase Dyson and the Serpentine Galleries' artistic director Hans Ulrich Obrist.
Adegoke also chaired a second discussion with musician ENNY, fashion designer Priya Ahluwalia and Vally, which covered topics including diaspora, migration, gentrification and identity, with a focus on Black culture.
Later in the evening, the pavilion was transformed into a stage on which rapper and singer Tinie Tempah performed a new track and ENNY presented a special rendition of her hit song, Peng Black Girls.
In between the talks, curator and art critic Daniel Birnbaum joined Obrist to introduce artist Carsten Höller's digital extension of his recent monographic exhibition at Lisbon's MAAT museum.
Guests experienced Höller's work titled 7.8 (Reduced Reality App), which augments and reduces reality by causing the user's phone screen to flicker at 7.8 Hz, a frequency that stimulates brainwaves and may induce hallucinations.
The pavilion was transformed into a stage on which rapper and singer Tinie Tempah performed a new track
The Communion event was enabled by MYND, an initiative created by Therme Mind, a mental health and wellbeing initiative resulting from a joint venture between wellbeing provider Therme Group and neuroscience pioneer MindMaze.
The MYND initiative makes neuroscience technology and research available to leading artists to use in cultural projects that promote mental health and wellbeing.
It took place as part of a series of talks initiated by MYTH, a company created to make positive cultural and commercial change through entertainment, talent and brand partnerships.
It was hosted at the Serpentine Pavilion designed by Counterspace, the Johannesburg-based collaborative architecture studio founded by Vally.
"Today more than ever, it is critical that the architectural community propose creative solutions that can adapt to the needs of diverse communities," said Therme Art CEO and co-founder, Mikolaj Sekutowicz.
"Counterspace's vision for the 2021 Serpentine Pavilion this year does just that, and we are proud to partner with the Serpentine in support of this inspiring multidisciplinary program."
The panel discussion was the latest event organised as part of Therme's Wellbeing Culture Forum series
This year's edition of the Serpentine Pavilion opened to the public on 11 June in Kensington Gardens, after a year's delay caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
It was designed as a place for gathering inspired by Vally's investigation of meeting spaces in parts of London that have large migrant populations.
The pink and grey structure combines abstracted elements informed by buildings such as the Fazl Mosque and East London Mosque, the Centerprise cooperative bookshops in Hackney, The Four Aces Club on Dalston Lane and The Mangrove Caribbean restaurant in Notting Hill.
The Communion event was hosted at the pavilion designed by Johannesburg-based collaborative architecture studio Counterspace
As part of the commission, Counterspace also built four sculptural fragments in different community-centered locations around the city to extend the project's reach.
Various initiatives focused on promoting sustained collaboration, including a partnership with the Serpentine's civic and education teams, have also allowed the project's scope to extend beyond the design of the pavilion.
"It has been an incredible journey to see such a diversity of uses and voices giving energy to and shaping the life of the pavilion," said Vally.
"I'm excited to continue to work on growing and developing the work and engagements that the pavilion has seeded."
During this year's Design Miami/Basel, Therme's Wellbeing Culture Forum presented a talk titled Art and Architecture as Healing: Shaping a Mental Health Economy, which examined architecture's potential to create realities where healing is prioritised.

The three-day series of talks aims to bring together architects, engineers, developers, housebuilders, students, researchers, and other opinion leaders to discuss some of the key challenges and opportunities facing the building industry today, and in the future.
"The key question at the centre of the conference is: How can we create well-being for people and the planet through building design?" said the organisers.
Remote presentations will be delivered from two main event stages: the Compass stage and the Daylight Symposium stage.
Talks and discussions will focus on creating spaces that benefit people and planet
Speakers on the Compass stage will focus on the seven biggest challenges and opportunities in the building industry, including the need for flexibility in design, the shifting role of buildings in our communities, and new demands for healthier and more sustainable living spaces.
A series of keynote presentations on the Compass stage will include Lidia Morawska's talk about the impact of air quality in buildings in a post-pandemic world, as well as Joseph Allen and John Macomber's business case for how indoor spaces can drive performance and wellbeing.
The Daylight Symposium, which has explored how daylight can create healthy and resilient buildings since 2005, will bring together 40 leaders in daylight research and practice as part of Build for Life.
