Mikkel Nielsen is a Copenhagen–based design studio producing architectural lamps through 3D printing in bioplast. Each lamp is designed and produced in Copenhagen in small, limited series. The collection is defined by a clear formal logic: a single organic element repeated twelve times to form a balanced circular composition, creating a strong and recognisable identity. Production is intentionally kept small, allowing close control of material, surface, colour and light quality. The studio focuses on durability and long–term relevance rather than trends. At 3daysofdesign, the SSPL lamp is presented in 20 new colours.

FANZI is a spatial practice based in Copenhagen, working across art, design and architecture. Projects move between object, exhibition, and architecture, often combining all three within a single framework. Rather than treating these as separate categories, the studio develops them as parts of a continuous spatial setting. FANZI operates less like a traditional studio and more like an experience-led practice, where design is not only seen, but quietly felt in how people inhabit space.
