We are happy to announce that the architect duo, Mentze Ottenstein, has agreed to collaborate on the exhibition design and curation concerning the exhibition during 3daysofdesign Selected Projects 2026 at the Danish Art Workshops.
Feb. 2026
Mentze Ottenstein works with spaces and objects in a broad sense, everything from designing furniture and objects for special places, to exhibition design and houses.
The studio has been particularly involved in exhibition design for a wide range of museums, including Glyptoteket, the David Collection and Designmuseum Danmark. The latter includes the exhibition The Power of Print in 2025.
In addition to an architectural practice, they have curated exhibitions about crafts and design, and the interfaces between architecture and visual arts. Among others, the exhibition “Tradition is Contemporary” at The National Museum of Craft in New Delhi, and the exhibition “Flet” at Sophienholm about wickerwork.
Mentze Ottenstein was founded by Alexander V. Ottenstein and Mathias Mentze.
