Graduate designer Anke Neumann makes handmade paper glow in an unusual way. In her workshop, she makes large–format papers, incorporating light–conducting fibres. Similar to veins, these run through the paper surface and also form a kind of framework that contributes to the stability of the form. LED light is guided through the fibres and emitted laterally outwards in the paper layer. Together with the material aesthetics and design language, the light papers combine sculpture, luminaire and unique piece. They are not just objects that attract a lot of attention due to their shape. They are capable of enchanting a room, bathing it in poetic light.

Amidst the stone spectators of the Kings Collection, the paperworks contrast in their lightness and at the same time connect through their sculptural character. In the stairwell, visitors are escorted up and down by an poetic light installation that seems to be infinite. Visitors are also invited to try out the technique of paper making for themselves, with minimal effort.

prado believes a home should become a place where functionality disappears and only the experience of the space remains. prado provides advanced solutions for home technology such as light and ventilation, quietly disappearing into architecture to bring calm to the spaces we live in. Founded in 2020, prado removes the visual noise from living spaces, leaving only what matters. The laboratory brings together prado's four maisons, united by the belief that the future of homes is not defined by more technology, but by better integration. Vervloet has been mastering the craft of architectural hardware since 1905. Atelier Luxus brings the same standard to switches and sockets, while rond extends the prado philosophy to the wall itself.

Gemla is a contemporary furniture maker—and always has been. Yet at the same time, they verge on being an anachronism. Always have. The company was founded in 1861, specialising in steam–bent furniture. It’s steam that makes bentwood furniture so exceptionally durable, yet graceful. On the factory floor, guided by the knowledge of craft, the brand meets patience, care and sustainability, passed down through generations. It’s no coincidence that its pieces are in high demand for hotels and restaurants—settings that require equal parts aesthetics and durability.

A life–centred approach ensures no harmful disruptors enter the environment, protecting everyone from maker to end user.
