Archival Studies is a Copenhagen-based design practice that explores interior architecture for transformation and care of the existing, applying regenerative concepts, flexible building systems, and sensory-rich environments. As the name implies, each process begins by understanding the available resources, letting patterns of life frame and direct the design work. Archival Studies strives to set new standards for materials and shape a contemporary definition of architecture and design that addresses the numerous challenges our planet faces today. In this new definition, the practice emphasizes viewing every piece of material as a valuable resource, with transformation, care and repair as guiding principles.

Archival Studies presents their recently introduced line Archival Products – the objects derived from the practice’s spatial research – within the spaces of their most recent interior transformation, the art center Gammel Strand.

Mikkel Nielsen is a Copenhagen–based lighting brand creating architectural lamps through 3D printing in bioplast. Each lamp is designed and produced by the designer in Copenhagen, in small, limited series. The collection is defined by a clear formal logic: a single organic element, repeated twelve times into a balanced circular composition, creating a strong and recognisable identity. Production is deliberately kept small, allowing close control of material, surface, colour, and light quality. The brand focuses on durability and long–term relevance rather than trends. At 3daysofdesign, the SSPL lamp is presented in 24 new colours, allowing a single sculptural form to take on multiple expressions.
