Garde Hvalsøe has, since 1990, created kitchens and interiors shaped by hand, material, and architectural intent. Each project begins with natural materials and the people who will live with it. Made to order, every detail is considered in relation to its purpose and surroundings. Rooted in Danish craftsmanship, the work reflects a belief in making things properly, allowing time, technique, and material to define the result. Interiors made to be used, to age, and to remain.

Garde Hvalsøe and De La Espada unite for 3daysofdesign for the third year, expressing their shared values in Tempus, an exhibition curated by Pernille Vest. Tempus invites visitors into a design universe where materials, craft, and longevity take centre stage. Where time is not a threat to design, but the proof of it. Embracing the enduring beauty of well-made products, a ten-year-old kitchen by Garde Hvalsøe meets the latest work from the Danish workshop, and products from across the De La Espada portfolio reveal the best of Portuguese craft. The exhibition celebrates products that will outlive those who made them. Materials that age well. Construction that holds. Two brands, two countries, one understanding of what time asks of design.

A fireplace is often the centrepiece of a room and Eldvarm was founded on the belief that the objects alongside it should be beautiful enough to deserve that position. Eldvarm is a Scandinavian brand built on the idea that beauty is not surface, it is what makes something worth keeping. Every piece is made to do its job well and to stay beautiful doing it, year after year. What started with fireplace accessories has grown into a wider collection for the rituals of gathering around a flame.
