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.

Furniture is a concept with a will of its own, conveying a unique expression. The ambition of Källemo is to produce objects that endure over time — aesthetically, artistically, physically, and metaphysically. Sven Lundh, the founder of Källemo in its present form, expressed, "An object shall stand the wear of the eye!" That's where the toughest wear occurs. Källemo collaborates with designers and artists who understand the essence of quality - achievement unaffected by trends, while also possessing the ability to surprise and challenge, contributing their own personal expressions. Källemo places its belief in the precision of cutting-edge technology, but equally values the hand that applies the final personal, magical touch.
