Extremis is a Belgian design brand that creates “tools for togetherness.” Founded in 1994 by designer Dirk Wynants, the company develops innovative furniture that supports human interaction and brings people together. Extremis starts from behaviour rather than form, designing functional solutions that reduce friction and make shared moments effortless. The result is a collection of intelligent, versatile designs for outdoor and indoor spaces. Developed and engineered in Belgium, Extremis products combine necessity, durability and timeless design, creating long–lasting solutions for homes, workplaces and public spaces worldwide.

Join Extremis at 3daysofsdesign in Nordhavn, a district where Copenhagen’s industrial harbour past meets a vibrant vision of the future. Among silos, piers and warehouses that still reflect the area’s raw character, Extremis invites you to discover Cabrio, its newest furniture piece. Take a seat, look out over the beautiful waterfront, and experience a place designed for openness, comfort and connection. Discover how thoughtful design can bring people together in a setting that feels both inspiring and refreshingly real.

Founded in 1985, Santa & Cole is an independent editor of thoughtful design objects, art and books headquartered in Barcelona, Spain. It’s a practice rooted in a discerning eye: choosing pieces with intuitive precision, often created by others, and bringing them to light, sharing them widely, safeguarding authorship and championing their value. With an aesthetic which leans more timeless than futuristic, Santa & Cole favours history over fashion, silence over noise. From spectacle to substance: if objects can be read, it’s because they have something to say. These are slow–cooked products, crafted to last, designed to be passed down through generations.

Fogia’s mission as a furniture maker is to turn exceptional ideas into well–crafted pieces. At its centre is the factory, where wood, textiles and skilled hands come together, giving designers and craftspeople the time to explore how sketches become lasting objects. The aim is to create furniture that people grow attached to over time. This comes from balancing function with friction—the detail, tension or gesture that gives character. One without the other is incomplete. Working closely with designers who question conventions with finesse, Fogia shapes furniture that feels considered. You can sense it in the whole—it simply feels right. FUNCTION / FRICTION / FINESSE / FOGIA
