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, Hydro collaborates with Iittala 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.

A unique way of doing things. Every laCividina sofa and armchair tells a story of manufacturing tradition and Italian quality, through the boundless language of contemporary design. From project development to the finished product, all laCividina collections are created entirely at the Martignacco plant, an environment that promotes the experience and skills of each individual. Step by step, laCividina has evolved from a small workshop into a cutting edge organisation, while retaining the added value of craftsmanship that defines all the production stages. This balance enables laCividina to stand out for its ability to also craft custom made products, whilst respecting the characteristics and personality of the original design project.
