Mikkel Nielsen is a design studio working at the intersection of art, design, and architecture. Rooted in Scandinavian minimalism, the studio merges timeless aesthetics with organic, nature–inspired details to create designs that are both functional and expressive. Guided by sustainability, the brand uses bioplastics, recycled metals, and ethically sourced sand in a small–batch, zero–waste production. Advanced technologies like 3D printing, laser cutting and CNC machining enable intricate forms and mass customisation, blending innovation with craftsmanship. Locally produced and globally conscious, Mikkel Nielsen designs embody durability, adaptability, and a commitment to mindful, sustainable living.

Mikkel Nielsen offers an engaging and interactive experience where design, technology, and sustainability come together. Taking place at both Kanalhuset and Café Candø in Christianshavn, the exhibition features a range of designs made from sand, metals, and bioplastics, including on–site production of bespoke 3D printed lamps. It highlights innovative, zero–waste manufacturing methods and the use of sustainable materials. Each design is enriched by organic, nature–inspired forms that play with light and shadow to create timeless expressions. By fostering meaningful connections between craftsmanship, advanced technology, and mindful consumption, the exhibition invites visitors to explore the future of sustainable, custom–made design.

Tools for Everyday Life is a project showcasing the community of practice surrounding the BA Furniture and Product Design programme at Northumbria University. This community has evolved through a dialogical approach to teaching and learning, where academic and technical staff act as facilitators in an ongoing process of shared inquiry with students. The project sets design briefs to create everyday objects that bring joy in use, proposing artefacts that recognise and celebrate the innumerable skilled actions that shape daily life. The aim is to draw inspiration from materials and processes that not only define the objects people interact with but also shape the relationship with the surrounding environment.

Seamless, sustainable and built to last. A material obsession that became a movement.
It began with a single idea: a floor should do more than hold weight. It should hold meaning. Senso creates seamless surfaces that soften architecture, quiet spaces, and support the life lived inside them. Senso floors are poured, not installed and  made from plants, not plastic. Sustainable since day one and have been for over 20 years. The plant-based bio resin is VOC-free, flexible, and strong enough to carry you through decades of movement. Senso did not ‘go green’ - they started there. Founded by David Bols, who spent years consumed over how spaces feel, not just how they look. Poured in the Netherlands. Installed worldwide. This is resin with soul.
