For more than a decade, the national business cluster, Lifestyle & Design Cluster has been a bridge-builder between fashion-, furniture- and design companies and knowledge institutions working with the Circular Economy. Lifestyle & Design Cluster promotes innovation and sustainable growth primarily in the small and medium-sized fashion & textile and furniture & interior companies. They have a broad dialogue-based interface with the business community and, through their many different projects and activities, generate new knowledge, which is communicated via events like Circular Furniture Days and on various platforms. The main focus is: TEXTILES & FASHION, INTERIOR & FURNITURE, THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY, ENTREPRENEURSHIP & TALENTS.

On the forefront of the circular agenda Lifestyle & Design Cluster is once again hosting Circular Furniture Days as part of 3daysofdesign. Circular Furniture Days brings together pioneers in sustainable business models, collaborations, and networks that benefit both companies and the broader climate agenda. Based on experiences from five previous exhibitions, Lifestyle & Design Cluster aims to illustrate the larger context of circular solutions in the furniture and interior design industry and disseminate knowledge through meetings, talks, and events. The event takes place in the garden of Designmuseum Denmark, in collaboration with the interior fair Formland, the Plastics Industry, and others.

For 85 years, LK Hjelle has been crafting long–lasting furniture with a commitment to Norwegian craftsmanship. Unlike mass–produced alternatives, its designs are not found in every home, store, or office. As one of the few remaining Norwegian furniture manufacturers that still designs and produces its pieces in–house, the company has upheld this tradition since the 1940s and continues to do so in Sykkylven, Norway’s furniture capital. While trends come and go, LK Hjelle remains dedicated to creating furniture designed to last a lifetime. Built for longevity, each piece is crafted to ensure that no one should ever need or want to discard an LK Hjelle product.
