What started back in 2012 as a one–man show has now, in little more than a decade, become an established European design brand: Freifrau Manufaktur. Operating from Lemgo, a small town in Westphalia, Germany, this exclusive manufacturer of seating furniture is characterised by the highest possible levels of comfort, lovingly–rendered details, and exacting quality and sustainability standards. Working with big–name designers and those at the start of their careers alike, since it was founded, Freifrau has built up a portfolio of timeless chairs, armchairs, and settees, wide–ranging and yet all with a unifying emphasis on individual comfort, total versatility, and undeniable individuality.

Freifrau Manufaktur presents the Mia modular sofa in an impressive XXL version at the 3daysofdesign exhibiton. The Lemgo-based company brings summer to Frederiksgade with a stylish display in two rooms and a colour palette ranging from rich green and pink to pastel sage and lilac. In addition to the Mia sofa, the new Marie lounge chair and a low dining version of the Marie chair are on show. Unique lights by Eloa, which float like pink soap bubbles, create a magical atmosphere throughout the display.

Grythyttan Stålmöbler is one of Sweden’s oldest furniture manufacturers, with a long tradition of craftsmanship and Scandinavian design. For more than a century, the furniture has been handcrafted in Grythyttan using carefully selected wood and spring steel. This unique combination makes the chairs and tables exceptionally durable and weather-resistant, designed to last for generations. The characteristic gentle rocking motion of the chairs is created by the carefully shaped spring steel frame—a detail that still requires skilled craftsmanship.
