Integral to our ambitions for Ark Kollekt is a desire to support local communities of designers, artists and other practitioners. We want to work with different people in different places to celebrate characteristics specific to that locale, be they materials, typologies, techniques or attitudes. To that end we are launching Ark Kollekt X Local, a nomadic exhibition to showcase our curation and collections.

Naturally the first iteration of Ark Kollekt X Local, is in Copenhagen, our home. Curated by Ark Journal, led by stylist Pernille Vest, the exhibition features the work of 11 up-and-coming and established Danish designers, artists and architects. Local in a geographic sense but also in their shared attitudes and values. 

Nicholas Shurey, Naja Utzon Popov, Malte Gormsen, Bonnie Hvillum, Yukari Hotta, Lærke Ryom, Josefine Hell, Danielle Siggerud, Hans Severin Jacobsen, Alexander Kirkeby and the duo Frederik Nystrup-Larsen & Oliver Sundqvist.
