Founded in 1905, Hydro is a leading aluminium and renewable energy company committed to a sustainable future. Based in Oslo, Norway, Hydro employs more than 30,000 people worldwide across a broad range of market segments for aluminium, energy, metal recycling and renewables, offering a unique wealth of knowledge and competence.

Following its debut at Milan Design Week earlier this year, Hydro is bringing their R100 exhibition to 3daysofdesign. Together with a team of world–class designers, including Sabine Marcelis, Keiji Takeuchi, Cecilie Manz, Daniel Rybakken, and Stefan Diez, they have brought to life five groundbreaking designs, all made within a self–imposed limit of a 100km radius—from locally sourced demolished greenhouses and decommissioned light poles. The entirety of the R100 exhibition is constructed from 100% post–consumer aluminium, including its objects, podiums and displays.

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.
