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.

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.

Unwanted fibre becomes an UNWONTED experience. The brand makes alpaca duvets from fibres that would otherwise go unused. Across Poland, 47 small farmhouses produce fleece in quantities too small for industrial processing. UNWONTED collects, grades, and processes these volumes into duvets with GOTS–certified organic cotton shells, entirely free of synthetic components. Founded in 2025, the brand bridges Copenhagen design and Polish agriculture, where the founder's father and sister trained as professional shearers to supply the collection. Collection that is limited by the natural shearing cycle. Alpaca fibres accounts for 0.05% of world textile production and the experience of sleeping under it remains unfamiliar to most.

Studio ByHAA is an architectural design studio working at the intersection of craft, design, regenerative architecture, and landscape. The studio creates from the understanding that all things and scales are connected, aiming to link architecture with craft, the intelligence of the land, and the people who shape it. Its approach begins with the land, its textures, its rhythms, its hands. The practice focuses on bringing the outside in, both literally and spiritually, by building spaces and creating objects that belong. Studio ByHAA believes the handmade has the power to reconnect people with the land, with nature, with a tangible time perspective from where we can feel at ease and feel our nervous systems relax.
