The Sound of Material

The Sound of Material
Cover image missing

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.

Seamless, sustainable and built to last. A material obsession that became a movement.
It began with a single idea: a floor should do more than hold weight. It should hold meaning. Senso creates seamless surfaces that soften architecture, quiet spaces, and support the life lived inside them. Senso floors are poured, not installed and  made from plants, not plastic. Sustainable since day one and have been for over 20 years. The plant-based bio resin is VOC-free, flexible, and strong enough to carry you through decades of movement. Senso did not ‘go green’ - they started there. Founded by David Bols, who spent years consumed over how spaces feel, not just how they look. Poured in the Netherlands. Installed worldwide. This is resin with soul.

Buneē reimagines the relationship between architecture, materiality, and everyday objects. Rooted in space, nature, and form, it crafts functional designs in marble, ceramics, wood, and textiles, emphasising natural textures and finishes. Simple, clean forms and geometric structures highlight both material and function. Imperfection is embraced in hand–crafted pieces, made by small–batch artisans using traditional techniques with a low environmental impact. More than just objects, Buneē represents a way of living—prioritising mindful consumption, where each piece serves more than one function. Sustainability is approached with longevity in mind, valuing craftsmanship over trends and creating objects that solve more with less.

Kvik has been creating Danish design kitchens, baths and wardrobes at surprisingly low prices since 1983. In 2024, Kvik Living, a line of Danish design furniture, lighting and accessories that are the perfect companion to their kitchens, was launched. Kvik introduced The Sociable Kitchen® (Samtalekøkken®) in 1998 and made their mark on life in the kitchen. The philosophy behind it is simple — a space where the kitchen is the living heart of the home. Everyone has the right to a beautiful, Danish design kitchen and sustainability is for everyone. Every Kvik kitchen comes with a calculation that tells customers how much recycled wood and how many recycled plastic bottles were used to make it and the CO2e footprint of their kitchen.
