About HÅNDVÆRK
The independent HÅNDVÆRK bookazine is made by designer, writer, and photographer Rigetta Klint. She worked professionally with crafts and design for more than 30 years, originally as a practising designer and for the past 15 years as a brand consultant, writer, and photographer.
Each issue of the HÅNDVÆRK bookazine focuses on a specific theme. The theme of HÅNDVÆRK bookazine no. 7 is 'construction'. Issue no. 7 features interviews with architects, designers, and active craftspeople from fields such as blacksmithing, bricklaying, carpentry, and thatching. They all focus on the construction industry's high carbon footprint and the need to find solutions. The reduction of CO2 emissions is also a key issue when the bookazine takes the reader behind the scenes of the development of wall tiles with a high content of crushed, used bricks. As usual, this issue of the bookazine also includes stories about textiles, glassware, food, and drink. As a special feature, it further contains Rigetta Klint's journal notes from the creation of the issue.
