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.
