Danish Art Workshops contributes to the field of art and design in Denmark by providing professionals with a unique platform for artistic development and production. In the many specially equipped workshops, professional artists and designers can apply for residency to develop their ideas and produce large and complex works with support and counselling from skilled professionals. Here lie the roots of large amounts of contemporary art and design; here new talents in the art and design scene are born. Curation and exhibition design by Margrethe Odgaard and Rasmus Bækkel.

Selected Projects is an exhibition platform in the largest production residency of Denmark. For 3daysofdesign, the old warehouse transforms into a showroom for projects, developed in the workshops. The displayed projects range widely in expression, materials, and artisanship. All are of the highest artistic quality, carefully selected for their originality, materiality, and sustainability. The exhibition design by Margrethe Odgaard and Rasmus Bækkel is based on hematite, a natural mineral that has been used as a red colour since the earliest cave paintings. From the simple cave paintings to today's artistic practices, the reddish–brown mineral bears witness to our eternal urge to leave traces, create coherence, and give shape to the world.

UMAGE is a Danish word meaning ‘making an effort’, and that’s what they aim to do every day. UMAGE is where beautiful Danish design meets affordability, high-quality materials and a genuine care for the environment.

UMAGE combine aesthetics, simplicity and functionality and infuse it with thoughtful craftsmanship and environmental care. The result is exquisite furniture and lighting designs with a sustainable edge.

Blå Station is a family business located in what used to be a sewing factory in Åhus—on the southeast coast of Sweden, where the ocean is just as restless as they are. Their focus is on on the interiors that surround us—how they are built and how they work. “How do we interact in the public space? Has today's society added new demands? Has our way of socialising changed?” To meet today's demands and desires, Blå Station believes it is necessary to have an open and innovative mind, a child's curiosity as well as a heart that rejects shortcuts and apathy. With curiosity as fuel, they keep searching for the unexpected, yet–to–be discovered. Peace, Love & Good Design.
