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.

At 3daysofdesign 2026, Warm Nordic continues “The Mid–Modern Reunion,” now in its second chapter, in partnership with Maharam, a leading creator of textiles and part of the MillerKnoll collective. During the golden age of design, Hans Olsen, Charles and Ray Eames, Alexander Girard and Verner Panton each shaped the world of modernist living. For the second time, their work is united through form and fabric—Olsen's Fried Egg Chair and Orange Chair dressed in Maharam textiles designed in the same era. Born at 3daysofdesign 2025, the tribute now enters its next chapter and includes a new highlight: a preview of Maharam’s next textile by Hella Jongerius.

Material Matters is a platform dedicated to exploring the role of material intelligence in architecture and design. With more than 150 podcasts published and four acclaimed editions of its annual fair staged in London, the brand made its international debut in Copenhagen in 2025 as part of 3daysofdesign. The debut fair exceeded expectations and confirmed the appetite for a deeper, more material–led conversation during Copenhagen's design festival. Building on this success, Material Matters returns to 3daysofdesign, reflecting design and architecture's fascination with what materials can do—and what they should no longer be asked to do.
