FRIENDS & FOUNDERS creates contemporary design with strong focuses on architecture, art, and craft. A sculptural approach to design, clean aesthetic profiles, and attention to detail show through in their work. FRIENDS & FOUNDERS create sustainable timeless pieces guided by the simplicity of artistic minimalism.

During this year’s edition, FRIENDS & FOUNDERS showcase in a 250–year–old listed building in historic Christianshavn. Here, a refined apartment setting unfolds. In collaboration with RAAW Alchemy, furniture, objects and collectible pieces are thoughtfully combined with fragrances to create a cohesive and immersive environment. New, updated and existing works are curated alongside scent and atmosphere, forming a harmonious dialogue between design and sensory experience—an intimate expression of both brands.

Headquartered in Denmead, UK, Anglepoise lamps have lit the desks of designers, the walls of museums, and the homes of creative thinkers around the world.
