A Circular Design Studio is a fusion of aesthetics and sustainability. It’s an untraditional carpentry shop that creates interiors, installations and works of art in 100% recycled plastic, collected from households, nature and companies in Denmark. With the goal of changing the way we perceive plastic, the highest priority at A Circular Design Studio is quality. Based on strong craftsmanship traditions, they have developed a new technique that gives the clearest colors and the highest quality in their unique products. This ensures that the products can live on for many years with many different owners or recycled into new products, making sustainability the soul of the company.

The exhibition of A Circular Design Studio will take place at Refshaleøen in a greenhouse, meant to inspire and challenge our use of and view on plastic and how we can utilize it for good. By showcasing elements of high quality craftsmanship made from 100% recycled plastic, the exhibition will show the possibilities of recycling plastic into products associated with high end brands and dissociating it with trash and single use products. With elements displaying different processing techniques playing with light, geometry, dimensions and social criticism the visitors will be inspired to look at the use of plastic more positively and challenged to think about their own use of it.

Since launching in 2016, RYE has been driven by a thoughtful approach to design within the bedroom. Inspired by history and analog traditions, RYE is less concerned with questions of what a bed can do, but rather with what a bed should be—a quiet refuge—framing sleep through an emphasis on slowness, serene geometries and a tactile depth. Every piece is made at the brand's own production facilities located in the scenic Danish Lake Highlands, where their skilled craftsmen and women are refining a variety of locally sourced materials.
