Futura Danica Set by Victor Miklos

The Flora Danica encyclopedia gathers the entire Danish flora as it looked around 1761. Quite contrary to its holistic vision, the royal porcelain tableware of the same name is today only owned by the few and the plants systematically selected. ‘Futura Danica’ by Victor Miklos Andersen explores the diversity of the Danish flora backthen, today and in the future. With algorithms, created from the encyclopedia’s 3240 engravings, the piece presents new plant forms, which both try to encapsulate Flora Danica’s originally holistic vision and creates a sci-fi image of the Danish flora’s future, where technology and nature potentially will become each other’s rescue

With an experimental and conceptual approach towards design, Victor Miklos Andersen’s work actively seeks to question existing behavioural norms. Informed by both natural habitats and processes, his intuitive exploration of diverse recycled materials embraces the individual and unique properties of each. Miklos Andersen thus introduces abstract elements into the language of design and constructs a contemporary aesthetic that is both materially and politically relevant to our time
