Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild represents the legacy and future of Danish craftsmanship. Founded on centuries of tradition, the guild brings together master cabinetmakers who blend artistry, precision, and innovation in wood. Each creation reflects a deep respect for natural materials and the pursuit of enduring quality. Through exhibitions and collaborations, the guild celebrates the dialogue between heritage and contemporary design, showcasing how Danish craftsmanship continues to shape modern living. Established in 1554, it remains a cornerstone of Danish craft culture.

Carpentry Craft 2026 highlights the next generation of Danish craftsmanship through its most ambitious exhibition to date. Focusing on apprentices and newly graduated cabinetmakers, the show unites tradition, innovation, and artistry in wood. Visitors will experience a dialogue between classic techniques and modern design across themes of mastery, technology, and artistic expression. As both a cultural event and an educational platform, the exhibition celebrates craftsmanship as a living art form and inspires young talents to shape the future of Danish design.

Furniture ought to make room for people. That has been the philosophy since 1942, when FDB Møbler was founded, with architect Børge Mogensen heading up the studio. Many new designers have since entered the fold, but the foundational principles remain the same: To create beautiful, functional and exceptionally crafted furniture that makes room for everyday living at home. FDB Møbler is internationally known as a frontrunner of Danish design. It’s a story of classic pieces to be passed down from generation to generation. Regardless of whether they are talking about iconic pieces or new, innovative designs, the goal is the same: To have the veritable quality of life that was envisioned when the first pieces of furniture emerged in 1942.

Established in 2025, FIRPON's first endeavour is to bring the light back to the somewhat mythical Filosof Lamp, created by the notorious architect Lars-Erik Ejlers (1948–2024). Lars-Erik Ejlers carried the lamp with him wherever he went, from the bar at Hotel D’Angleterre to Holstein Bodega, turning Copenhagen’s nightlife into his personal showroom. To own a Filosof Lamp was to own a piece of a story, as it was often purchased directly from him during a late-night visit to a city bar, making it both rare and iconic. FRIPON now carries his vision forward, bringing the Filosof Lamp back to shine in modern spaces.

Founded in 1917 as a handicraft college (husflidskole), OsloMet Product Design is rooted in a strong tradition of making and material knowledge. Today, this legacy continues through workshop–based experimentation and close collaboration with industry and real production contexts. Product design is approached as a materially grounded practice engaged with societal and environmental questions, where making, process, and critical reflection are inseparable.

Arthur Rottier is a designer and product developer based in Arnhem, the Netherlands. His practice moves between commissioned work and self–initiated projects, driven by an interest in how objects can be conceived and produced locally using contemporary means. The work is defined by advanced, computer–controlled engineering and production methods, careful finishing, and a restrained approach to form. Durability is central: materials are chosen for wear resistance, constructions are clear and legible, and connections are simple. Affordability is considered part of the design challenge. At the core of the practice lies the belief that beauty is essential to sustainability. Objects that are valued are cared for, and what is cared for lasts.
