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.

An intuitive exploration of interior life and how our domestic spaces reflect the layered dualities of living. It is a study in how time,
light, and impulse shape our everyday environments, revealing a choreography of movement, mood, and meaning. 

Objects and belongings gather where the light invites them, arranged through instinctive gestures and responsive habit. The space is alive with dualities: rest and action, solitude and connection, clarity and obscurity. Home from Home invites you to dwell in this tension between stillness and transformation - to consider not only how we live, but how light lives with us. 

At Noura Residency, Charlotte Taylor reflects on how temporal and emotional shifts delineate the spatial logic of the home.
