3XN GXN is a Danish architecture studio founded in 1986, driven by the belief that architecture shapes behaviour. Rooted in Scandinavian stewardship and working internationally, they design with deep respect for people, resources and the ecosystems their buildings become part of. Through genuine dialogue with clients, communities and collaborators, they create places shaped by evidence and inquiry. Behavioural science, circular design and emerging technologies are integral to their thinking, guiding the creation of resilient, humane environments grounded in participation and shared knowledge. 3XN GXN works across offices in Copenhagen, Sydney, Amsterdam, London, Stockholm and New York.

'Working Matter' is an exhibition by 3XN GXN, presented at 3daysofdesign 2026. It brings together designers who treat process as the work itself—visible, intentional, and present in every finished object. The exhibition gathers makers who ask where a material comes from before they ask what shape it should take. Designers who work with what has already been used, grow new materials from unexpected sources, or draw on the depth of traditional craft. Each object on show carries its making with it. Working Matter is a space for that conversation—and for the kind of exchange that moves design forward.
