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.

HUBBUB develops 100% natural acoustic materials for architecture, replacing synthetic layers in acoustic systems. Made from jute fibres and natural latex, without added plastics, the material combines documented performance with long lifespan and architectural integrity. ESSENCE surfaces remain open and breathable, preserving acoustic performance while adding tactile depth. Natural elements are pressed into the surface, becoming part of its texture rather than applied decoration. Designed in Denmark, the material stores carbon and is developed for long-term use.

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.
