The Sound of Material will explore ideas centred on craftsmanship, techniques and processes. The group exhibition will be focusing on both traditional handwork and innovative practices, the works presented invite and encourage us to engage with them. With this, the exhibition asks us to think about the transformative qualities of the materials present, the intricacy or simplicity of the techniques on display, and to appreciate of the power of the objects present in our lives. Bringing together a dynamic group of designers and makers who work with ceramics, textiles, lighting, furniture, glasswork, paper and more, the exhibition will be curated by Natalia Sánchez.

The Sound of Material represents work from the following designers, architects and artists. Anne Dorthe Vester, Anne Nowak, Ari Prasetya, BACD Studio, Eszter Nagy, Studio Fie Paarup, Filippo Andrighetto, Heidi Lillevang, Karin Carlander, Katrine Blinkenberg, Kibun Projects, Kogl, Miguel Saboya , Monica Cetti, Nina Nørgaard, Poppykalas, Russo Betak, Sebastian Holmbäck, Sissel Gram Warringa, Snedker Studio/Elisa Strozyk, Tale Berger Hølmebakk, Thibault Philip, Tine Otto Studio, Tortus, 808:Studio.

The story of sog begins in the world of bespoke furniture in Japan, where its creators listened to countless stories—the single line drawn by an architect, the quiet wish of a user. To answer each one, the brand's artisans sculpted wood, tailored fabrics, and bent metal. The myriad forms born and then vanished in this process became what they call the “memories of design.” From this vast accumulation of memories and experience, “sog” was born: a brand that carves out the "So” (素)—the elemental form destined to become the standard of the future.

Fogia’s mission as a furniture maker is to turn exceptional ideas into well–crafted pieces. At its centre is the factory, where wood, textiles and skilled hands come together, giving designers and craftspeople the time to explore how sketches become lasting objects. The aim is to create furniture that people grow attached to over time. This comes from balancing function with friction—the detail, tension or gesture that gives character. One without the other is incomplete. Working closely with designers who question conventions with finesse, Fogia shapes furniture that feels considered. You can sense it in the whole—it simply feels right. FUNCTION / FRICTION / FINESSE / FOGIA
