MOTARASU crafts design objects within lighting, furniture and interior that unites the clean, functional elegance of Danish design with the poetic beauty and refined simplicity of Japanese aesthetics to bring joy. Dedicated to creating timeless, sustainable pieces that evoke tranquillity and harmony, transforming everyday spaces into serene environments. By blending the best of both cultures, MOTARASU aspire to induce mindful living, elevate interiors with pure forms and natural materials, and infuse them with a quiet, understated elegance that speaks to the soul. During 3daysofdesign MOTARASU launches a new pendant by Ryota Yokozeki.

Composed Matter, curated by Norm Architects, brings together three distinct brands—Motarasu, Sumum and Søuld—each shaped by its own heritage, craft and aesthetic language. Curated and spatially designed by Norm Architects, the exhibition unfolds as a quiet exploration of how materials, light and space interact to shape our sensory experience. Light and shadow become active participants in the composition. Surfaces respond to illumination, revealing depth and subtle variation. Soft geometries guide movement through the space, while moments of spatial compression and openness shift the emotional tone of the exhibition. Visitors are invited to slow down, to notice how small material gestures can alter the perception of a room.

Bread and Butter is an itinerant exhibition platform that explores everyday rituals through the concept of paired objects. Transforming everyday spaces—such as bookstores, salons, restaurants, and parking lots—into stages for collaboration, designers from different generations and cultural backgrounds translate their personal routines and local traditions into perfectly matched pairs. Just as "bread and butter" signifies something essential and inseparable, the paired objects form functional, aesthetic, and social relationships—quietly conveying each designer's experiences and contexts, while opening space for new connections and creative dialogue with local communities.
