BREAD AND BUTTER

BREAD AND BUTTER is an itinerant exhibition platform for young designers. Each edition takes place in different cities, transforming everyday spaces—such as bookstores, salons, restaurants, and parking lots—into stages for collaboration. Set against the backdrop of daily life, designers engage in creative dialogues with local communities and explore sustainable and relevant solutions for the future. BREAD AND BUTTER seeks to redefine the value of simplicity in a world obsessed with the exceptional by reimagining the universal and the understated as extraordinary. During 3daysofdesign, BREAD AND BUTTER presents its inaugural exhibition in collaboration with OURI, the newest restaurant by KOPAN, Copenhagen’s leading Korean culinary brand.

Bread and Butter refers to a perfect, inseparable pair and symbolizes something essential in everyday life. In dining, pairing is fundamental—plates with cutlery, salt with pepper, table settings in twos. Eating and drinking are more than physical needs; they are sensory and social experiences. This exhibition explores the idea of the ‘Perfect Pair’ through dining objects created by 12 designers from Korea, Denmark, and the Netherlands. These objects complete, contrast, and complement one another—functionally, conceptually, and aesthetically—forming new relationships, dialogues, and moments of connection.
