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.

To celebrate 90 years of the Aalto vase, Iittala and Hydro collaborates to present the Aalto 90 Pavilion at Ofelia Plads. Inspired by Alvar Aalto’s iconic design, the pavilion invites visitors to step inside and explore an immersive soundscape crafted for this occasion. The pavilion is formed in aluminium—chosen for its versatility, strength and infinite recyclability—made using 100% renewable energy. Selected as Iittala’s partner for its deep material and engineering expertise, the two companies seek to build upon their combined Nordic legacy of more than 260 years to support a more circular approach to temporary architecture.

2050 Furniture is a gentle rebellion for nature, people, and the future. Today’s conventional furniture industry is resource–intensive and highly centralised. Valuable local resources—such as wood waste—remain underutilised, while many people are excluded from the workforce. 2050 Furniture is created to question and even change this system. This new furniture production transforms local wood waste into high–end furniture through cooperative, local production that fosters inclusive and meaningful employment. 2050 Furniture scales through new furniture series developed in new communities, expanding a local, circular, and regenerative model of production. 2050 Furniture is Doughnut economics in practice.

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.

Lasting change begins at the smallest scale. No detail is too little, no problem too small, no emotion trivial and no person irrelevant. In a time defined by environmental and social challenges, design becomes a tool for care, attention, and responsibility, where every step matters and every effort counts. At Lund University School of Industrial Design, education is grounded in curiosity, critical thinking, and real-world engagement. Students question, test, and refine, engaging with people and contexts, bringing together diverse perspectives. The school fosters a new generation of designers who create with intent and awareness. Their work reflects a shift from producing more to creating meaningful impact. Because Every Thing Matters.

Layers of Light creates sculptural wall lamps where art and precise engineered illumination merge. Each piece is built from carefully calculated layers of light, transforming the wall into a composition of depth, shadow, and reflection. Inspired by natural light phenomena, the work evokes a sensory response — light that can be felt as much as seen. These pieces replace traditional wall art while fundamentally reshaping the atmosphere of a space.
