Cathrine Raben Davidsen, owner of CRD studio, is a Danish artist primarily recognised as a painter, although she has been working with ceramics for the past 15 years. She blends minimalism with organic forms, seamlessly integrating functionality with artistic expression. Using traditional handcrafting techniques, she emphasises the individuality of each piece. Materials such as clay and porcelain are carefully chosen to highlight tactile qualities, fostering a deep connection to nature. Drawing inspiration from her background as a painter and Scandinavian culture, her work embodies simplicity, functionality, and a profound respect for both nature and craftsmanship.

During 3daysofdesign, Cathrine Raben Davidsen will open the doors to CRD STUDIO CASA, her new family home on Paper Island. Situated in one of the 11 townhouses at Operahusene, the space has undergone a thoughtful transformation. The event will showcase a curated selection of her own work — including ceramics, lamps and tableware — alongside pieces from her family’s art collection and favourite furniture. Several artists and designers, handpicked by Raben Davidsen, will also contribute, offering a unique and personal insight into her creative vision. Additionally, the CRD studio store on Sølvgade will be open throughout the event, inviting visitors to further explore her work and discover a new collaboration with Emilie Helmstedt.

MANO design studio is a Seoul–based studio founded in 2016 by Bo Ah Kim. With a background in interior design in Korea and further studies in Product Design in Milan, Kim develops work at the intersection of traditional Korean craft and contemporary design. Her practice focuses on lighting and objects made from Hanji—traditional Korean paper hand–pressed from mulberry bark. Each piece is made by hand: cutting, folding, and stitching to draw out the quiet dialogue between light and material. At the heart of her work is the act of stitching itself. Each stitch is not decorative, but a record—of time, attention, and the steady rhythm of the hand. The work holds what cannot be seen: the duration and care inscribed into every mark.
