EETAL is a project launched in 2021 by Japan Benex Corporation, a company specialising in precision sheet metal processing technology. Through collaborations with designers, it reconsiders the creative potential of sheet metal from multiple perspectives. Embracing an experimental approach, the project challenges conventional notions of industrial production and explores new dialogues between sheet metal and design. The name "EETAL" originates from "SHEET METAL." It combines "EET" from "SHEET" and "TAL" from "METAL," forming a coined term that symbolises a new approach to sheet metal design.

Estonia’s national story is simple: succeeding at change is its superpower; in design, that means future ready solutions with a gentle, human pace, delivered with a friendly, down to earth voice and clean, simple form. Silen, Slept, SEOS, House of Pärnamets, Maarit Pöör, Jalg, Aeris, Loreida Hein—gathered at the Embassy of Estonia to show how a small, digitally fluent nation turns calm into a competitive edge—spaces and objects that make room to think, feel, and slow down. Together, they translate Estonia’s brand into lived experience: authentic materials, generous space, and technology that disappears into the background—design that invites you to slow down, breathe, and notice what matters in this moment.

Studio ByHAA is an architectural design studio working at the intersection of craft, design, regenerative architecture, and landscape. Designs are handcrafted in Egypt through a dialogue between local artisans and Danish designers. The studio works from the understanding that all things and scales are connected, linking architecture with craft, the intelligence of the land, and the people who shape it. Beginning with the land—its textures, rhythms, and hands—the practice brings the outside in, creating spaces and objects that belong. Through the handmade, Studio ByHAA seeks to reconnect people with nature, the land, and a slower sense of time.
