Founded in 1898, Dinesen is a family–run Danish company with over 125 years of experience in crafting high–quality products out of wood. Based in the small town of Jels, in the southern part of Denmark, Dinesen is renowned for its bespoke wooden floors and surfaces made from carefully selected trees sourced from responsibly managed western European forests. Rooted in principles of curiosity, care, and responsibility, Dinesen honours its heritage while expanding boundaries, continually seeking to unlock the full potential of wood. Driven by a longstanding tradition and curiosity, Dinesen collaborates closely with architects, designers and artists to transform and reimagine wood, reflecting a genuine appreciation for the material.

During 3daysofdesign 2025, Dinesen unveils House of ORBI—an exhibition highlighting the ideas, works and aspirations of ORBI, an association for interdisciplinary learning and artistic exploration. ORBI was founded by architect and teacher at the Danish Royal Academy of Architecture, Peter Møller Rasmussen and Hans Peter, Art & Brand Director at Dinesen. Originating from a 2019 summer school, ORBI has grown into a residency space near Dinesen’s headquarters, fostering collaboration across disciplines. Next door to the Dinesen Gallery, visitors can explore the Dinesen Apartment by John Pawson, celebrating years of collaboration between Dinesen and the renowned British architect.

Tools for Everyday Life is a project showcasing the community of practice surrounding the BA Furniture and Product Design programme at Northumbria University. This community has evolved through a dialogical approach to teaching and learning, where academic and technical staff act as facilitators in an ongoing process of shared inquiry with students. The project sets design briefs to create everyday objects that bring joy in use, proposing artefacts that recognise and celebrate the innumerable skilled actions that shape daily life. The aim is to draw inspiration from materials and processes that not only define the objects people interact with but also shape the relationship with the surrounding environment.

Orla Culligan creates unique slip cast ceramics for the home in Clonakilty, Cork. She strives to provide high–quality products that bring joy to the owner’s home while keeping her business sustainable by minimising waste and maintaining a low environmental impact. The original inspiration for her work comes from discovering 'rubbish' washed up on the beaches where she grew up in East Cork. As she walks along the beach, flotsam and jetsam become tangled among the seaweed, their bright synthetic man–made colours standing out. Upon closer scrutiny, these objects reveal a gorgeous range of textures where the sea has intervened; seams and edges have softened, yet evidence of the making process and the machine still remains.
