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 more than 50 years, Agape has been synonymous with design culture. Founded by the Benedini family, the brand offers a wide range of bathroom products that combine function with timeless design. Each object enters a natural dialogue with its surroundings, forming part of Agape’s architectural vocabulary. International in outlook yet deeply rooted in Mantua—the Renaissance city where its headquarters are based—Agape balances global vision with local heritage. Agapecasa, founded in 2009, reflects this passion for design culture and is dedicated to reissuing the original works of post–war Italian design master Angelo Mangiarotti.

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.

ELVO was founded in 1923 by Valdemar Martin Ørstrup, who named the company after four of his children: Ellen, Leo, Villy, and Orla. The company remained family-owned until 2019 and has, throughout the years, supplied boxes to many historic and creative workplaces across Denmark. With a new group of owners, ELVO has moved after 70 years on Uplandsgade to an industrial courtyard on Islands Brygge in Copenhagen, where all of our products are handmade. At the factory, Elvo welcomes visitors into a space that radiates history and a passion for the traditional craft of box-making. Elvo aims to challenge the throwaway culture and create classic products that age gracefully.
