Established in 2025, FIRPON's first endeavour is to bring the light back to the somewhat mythical Filosof Lamp, created by the notorious architect Lars-Erik Ejlers (1948–2024). Lars-Erik Ejlers carried the lamp with him wherever he went, from the bar at Hotel D’Angleterre to Holstein Bodega, turning Copenhagen’s nightlife into his personal showroom. To own a Filosof Lamp was to own a piece of a story, as it was often purchased directly from him during a late-night visit to a city bar, making it both rare and iconic. FRIPON now carries his vision forward, bringing the Filosof Lamp back to shine in modern spaces.

For 3daysofdesign, Fripon has been invited to showcase the Filosof Lamp at Galleri Sonja's exhibition, which explores the transformation of raw materials into craft. The Filosof Lamp fits the exhibition's theme well, as its shades are formed by hand through traditional metal-spinning techniques that require experience and training for the craftsman to develop a natural feeling when forming the metal. The lamp can be experienced in the original version with brass and copper shades and in a new version with polished nickel shades.

ØDELAND is a material and design project that transforms overlooked waste streams into new aesthetic possibilities. Based on high–fired ceramic landfill waste such as discarded toilets and sinks, ØDELAND works to rethink value, resources, and material cycles. Using sanitary waste, granite dust from quarrying, and pharmaceutical glass, ØDELAND is developing new ceramic expressions in which waste becomes identity, form, and narrative.

New Works collaborate with an international group of renowned designers and artisans, who display a matching fascination with sculptural forms and honest materials. These collaborative pursuits convey a love of the sensual, and of the bold.

You’re not like everyone else. Neither are we. You won’t find us in every home, in every store, or in every office. We’re among the few Norwegian furniture manufacturers who still design and craft our furniture at our own factory. We’ve been doing that since the 40s. And we’ll continue to do so, right here in Sykkylven, the country’s furniture capital. We make products built to last. In fact, no one should want or need to throw away an LK Hjelle product. That’s our vision. And it ensures that we always double-check that the screws are tight, that we choose the best suppliers, and that we make it easy for our customers to have their furniture repaired, so they get renewed life and can bring joy to many, many, many…

soca—scent of the calm—is a brand rooted in Japan, a land shaped by the ever–changing expressions of its four seasons. Inspired by fragrances from native plants and the gifts of nature unique to each place, soca captures scent as something gently received from the natural world. Rather than asserting itself strongly, each fragrance quietly exists—calmly present and softly enveloping a space. The brand is also deeply connected to Japanese craftsmanship, collaborating with small workshops and skilled artisans instead of mass production to preserve the beauty of handwork while creating thoughtful new pieces.
