Located in Charlottenborg, the event showcased some of the most ground-breaking work from "visionary design pioneers such as Poul Kjærholm and Arne Jacobsen," and other contemporary designers like Cecilie Manz, Jaime Hayon, Sebastian Herkner, Vico Magistretti, and KiBiSi. Marie-Louise Høstbo, the Creative Design Director at [Fritz Hansen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaping-lasting-design), proudly shares her perspective on the ethos of Danish furniture design: "In Danish we call furniture design; MØBELKUNST (literally “furniture art”) and the inherent connectedness to art through the Academy is unquestionable." Throughout the [EXPRESSIONS of CHARACTER exhibition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-rhizomes), one could survey the aesthetic and craftsmanship of many [iconic furniture designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woud). Some items were presented in their natural habitat while others were creatively positioned mid-air, held by ropes, and slightly tilted.
