NCS Colour is the creator of the three-dimensional Natural Colour System®, a colour system and global standard that translates colour vision into a systematic language. Using NCS Notations, any surface’s colour can be described as we perceive it. This enables an accurate approach to colour communication that unites industries and creatives worldwide. Rooted in science and the belief that precision empowers creativity and efficiency, NCS Colour provides precise physical and digital design tools for designers and architects while advancing industry knowledge through colour solutions. Influencing everything from creative design to product manufacturing, NCS Colour is a trusted partner that helps turn colour ideas into reality.

At 3daysofdesign, NCS Colour will showcase how to unite colour and material to empower confident decisions. The exhibition highlights the NCS System, which as a universal colour language bridges interior, exterior and architectural physical and digital applications. With focus on a digitised experience, NCS Colour introduces NCS+ as a powerful tool for a systematic colour workflow, embracing both the science and the creativity of colour.

Graduate designer Anke Neumann makes handmade paper glow in an unusual way. In her workshop, she makes large–format papers, incorporating light–conducting fibres. Similar to veins, these run through the paper surface and also form a kind of framework that contributes to the stability of the form. LED light is guided through the fibres and emitted laterally outwards in the paper layer. Together with the material aesthetics and design language, the light papers combine sculpture, luminaire and unique piece. They are not just objects that attract a lot of attention due to their shape. They are capable of enchanting a room, bathing it in poetic light.

This waste is repurposed through thoughtful design, creating new products with minimal energy expenditure while adhering to principles of disassemblability and monomateriality. This formula, called Noble Waste Mix, embodies a circular production-consumption-reuse model. Fucina Frammenti continually refines its practices through research, experimentation, and exploration of new materials, resulting in a constantly evolving product catalog.

What if you could buy a chair that one day turned into a table, shapeshifting with your changing needs? This is the fundamental idea that LOOPE is based on, a new brand, launched by Polish–based, Studio Rygalik who has spent the last years surveying what it means to own furniture, protecting our planet from plastic waste. The result is LOOPE. This brand offers a furniture suite, called the Effects range, that includes five collections, Armstrong, Rounder, ALLin, OneL and faT Table. The distinct idea: made with 100% recycled material, after years of use, any of the products in the range can be returned and transformed into another currently available product.
