Nada Duele is a sustainable design studio based in Guatemala, dedicated to the creation of design objects and accessories that blend traditional craftsmanship with a contemporary vision. Founded in 2019, the studio collaborates with master artisans across Guatemala to craft unique, responsible, and timeless pieces, ensuring the preservation of traditional crafts while supporting job creation. Each creation tells a story of heritage and sustainability. Through recycled blown glassware, lambswool pieces, stone artefacts, and iron accents, Nada Duele celebrates Guatemala’s beauty and traditions while promoting an environmentally conscious lifestyle. The studio is led by multidisciplinary artists Giselle MacDonald and Mariano Orellana.

Nada Duele presents MANOS y MATERIA – From Hands to Heritage, an exploration of the intimate dialogue between artisan, material and sustainable design. Featuring a collection of never–before–seen collectible pieces handcrafted in stone, glass, wool, clay, iron, and wood, the exhibition reflects Nada Duele’s approach to material—rooted in contemporary design, time–honoured techniques, and a deep commitment to sustainability. MANOS y MATERIA speaks to the power of craft, the integrity of materials, and the role of sustainable design in preserving and evolving Guatemala’s rich cultural heritage. It is an invitation to see beyond the object—to feel the history in its fibres, the landscape in its textures, and the hands that brought it to life.

Kvik’s originality comes from redefining how people live in their kitchens. Since 1983, Kvik has focused on human connection, not just cabinetry—coining and trademarking the term Samtalekøkken® long before open–plan living was a trend. That idea—bringing conversations, family, and daily rituals into the heart of the home—has since become the global standard. Kvik designs with purpose: every line, material, and surface has intent, evolving the concept it pioneered while keeping it human–centred and true to Danish design values. Kvik keeps it fresh by collaborating with leading Danish designers like Rikke Frost, Hans Thyge, Says Who, and supporting rising talents such as Annika Hoffmann and Bly Studio.

David Valner has a background in glass design, sculpture, fine arts, and interactive media. David has grown up in a glassmaker family, in the midst of a swarm of traditional artisans–glass lovers, feeling and watching  the physical and metaphorical fire of creation. At the centre of his current approach to glass stands respect for the material as an originally free and fluid mass. Endlessly inspired by nature, he creates collections of objects in which each item is an original and defects are embraced as deeply meaningful and inspirational testimonies to artisan glass making as opposed to mass production.

With a history that spans more than 100 years, the Georg Jensen brand represents quality craftsmanship and timeless aesthetic design, producing lifestyle products ranging from hollowware to watches, jewellery and home products. The philosophy of Georg Jensen himself was to create democratic designs possessing both functionality and beauty. His artisanal skill and artistic talent combined with his continuous ability to identify and support design talent was the foundation on which he built Georg Jensen in Copenhagen in 1904. Our most important task is to leverage the ideas and principles of the master himself and translate these into the design of the present day.
