Bretz

Bretz combines two essentially contrary, but fundamental desires in life: On the one hand, the creations take you on fantastic journeys full of adventure and freedom. But, on the other hand, they wrap themselves around you making you feel safe and secure. This vision takes shape the brands workshop where Bretz strides forth with a bold pioneering spirit while drawing on over a hundred years of German upholstery tradition. Born out of a passion for the unexpected coupled with sophisticated production techniques, Bretz creates exceptional modular and multifunctional concepts. Only when sofa, bed, armchair or accessory has been honed right down to the last detail, will they meet our exacting standards.

With its colorful maximalism and joyful design, Bretz brings a vibrant splash of boldness to 3daysofdesign. Rooted in pure craftsmanship, finest materials, and the highest quality, Bretz opens its showroom in the heart of CPH to celebrate a profession of love for the untamed: a belief in beauty that dares to go beyond conventions, in the magic of derring-do, and a full-throated YES to one-of-a-kind-ness in an age of deliberate uniformity. This year’s exhibition, titled SENSORIUM, is a lush, multisensory landscape where furniture becomes feeling and color transforms into atmosphere. Bretz invites you to immerse yourself in this extraordinary world — to explore, to feel, and to experience design with all your senses.

You’re not like everyone else. Neither are we. You won’t find us in every home, in every store, or in every office. We’re among the few Norwegian furniture manufacturers who still design and craft our furniture at our own factory. We’ve been doing that since the 40s. And we’ll continue to do so, right here in Sykkylven, the country’s furniture capital. We make products built to last. In fact, no one should want or need to throw away an LK Hjelle product. That’s our vision. And it ensures that we always double-check that the screws are tight, that we choose the best suppliers, and that we make it easy for our customers to have their furniture repaired, so they get renewed life and can bring joy to many, many, many…

A–POC revolutionised the process of clothes–making with its innovative concept of a streamlined, all–in–one operation, in which all the parts of the clothing are pre–woven into a single piece of cloth. Launched in 2021, A–POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE aims to realise the infinite potential of the A–POC system with society in mind—hence the name 'ABLE'.
