Dignity Design is a collaborative platform and movement exploring how design can restore dignity in vulnerable stages of life through design. Founded by Danish designer Anker Bak and strategist Jonas Sølberg, it brings together design, care, and human experience. It rethinks how products, spaces, and systems shape moments of transition, proposing a new paradigm where care, tactility, and emotional awareness are central to everyday life.

The Design We Hide Away is an exhibition about design, aesthetics and rituals in life’s vulnerable situations. It explores how design can create more dignity in moments shaped by ageing, illness, loss or dependency. Visitors walk through a nine point manifesto for a new design movement. Along the way, assistive objects, furniture and rituals are brought into a new light, where function, beauty and human experience belong together. At the centre is a new ritual object for the home: a shelf where invited participants curate fragments of life, giving form to what matters and continues to shape them. The exhibition is presented by Dignity Design and Anker Bak Studio together with Karimoku (JP), OneCollection (DK) and Fredahl Rydéns (SE).

At their workshop on Portugal's Silver Coast, De La Espada combines artisanal furniture making savoir faire with rigorous, research–based contemporary design. Their portfolio of iconic and timeless pieces includes designs by their in–house studio, De La Espada Atelier, and by great figures in the world of international design. Specialising in woodworking and upholstery, they also collaborate with Portuguese artisans across disciplines. De La Espada sits at the heart of design and craft in Portugal and represents true luxury: creativity rather than imitation; extensive research and development; traditional methods that are in scarce supply; a singular aesthetic point–of–view; and no compromise when it comes to materials or effort.

Established in 2025, FIRPON's first endeavour is to bring the light back to the somewhat mythical Filosof Lamp, created by the notorious architect Lars-Erik Ejlers (1948–2024). Lars-Erik Ejlers carried the lamp with him wherever he went, from the bar at Hotel D’Angleterre to Holstein Bodega, turning Copenhagen’s nightlife into his personal showroom. To own a Filosof Lamp was to own a piece of a story, as it was often purchased directly from him during a late-night visit to a city bar, making it both rare and iconic. FRIPON now carries his vision forward, bringing the Filosof Lamp back to shine in modern spaces.
