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.

Slow Extraction / Dimora Circolare / Wasted / La Mesure. Marco Evaristti is an artist and architect trained in the studio of Professor Henning Larsen. His work operates between art, architecture, and design, examining responsibility and the systems shaping contemporary life. During 3daysofdesign, he presents Slow Extraction at the Odd Fellow Palace. The installation treats furniture as spatial structure—circular forms and cubes creating rhythm and small–scale architecture. Crafted in FSC–certified wood and plant–based textiles, materials remain visible. La Mesure extends the project, focusing on the body as measure and proposing furniture as lived architecture.
