Birgitte Due Madsen is a Copenhagen-based artist and designer working across furniture, objects, and sculptural form. Her practice centres on materiality, light, and aesthetics, exploring how structure and surface inform both function and perception. Working with materials such as gypsum, resin, wood stone, and concrete, she develops pieces through a process that moves from abstraction to precise realization. The work spans custom commissions, serial designs, and unique pieces, often produced in close dialogue with manufacturers. Defined by tactile textures, controlled colour, and a distinct geometric language, each object reflects a commitment to craftsmanship and a considered approach to form, material, and use.

Birgitte Due Madsen will be present in several exhibitions around the city including Objects of Desire and Danish Art Workshops. Main exhibition, Summer Nights, is a curated spatial installation presented during 3daysofdesign, located opposite Kongens Have. It explores the atmosphere of a Copenhagen summer night through material presence and spatial composition—as an interior in suspension, between rest and display, domesticity and abstraction—it offers a calm environment where objects are experienced through texture, weight, and spatial rhythm. Showing pieces: Plissé stools in warm Oregon pine and soft upholstery, cast–neon lighting, and marble Bellum vases, form a quiet constellation. Rooted in craftsmanship and material sensitivity.

Marrimor objects are made to be as delightful as they are purposeful, a touch provocative too. Each piece comes into being by way of a relentlessly collaborative process, one that balances refinement with irreverence. Tanja Breadner and Lauren Bugliarisi both shoot for the moon, creatively speaking, albeit from reverse angles, drawing on different histories. Tanja brings Swiss sensibilities to the platonic design partnership, and Lauren an East Coast drive. They create through playful debate, continually pushing their respective boundaries to reach that Goldilocks–like zenith between too little and too much. They know they’ve landed as soon as they agree.
