Proof of Concept is a dynamic exhibition platform exploring the intricate and captivating processes behind design. Showcasing work from a collective of multidisciplinary studios, it highlights self–initiated projects, products that never reached the market, and designs already in circulation. By shedding light on the extensive development process, the exhibition offers a rare glimpse into the evolution of a product—revealing the ideas, challenges, and creativity that shape its journey.

Proof of Concept — Connect is an exhibition that explores how materials, processes, construction and craftsmanship shape our relationship with everyday objects. Designers are invited to consider the role of tactile experiences, traditional techniques, and innovation in forging deeper connections between makers, users, and the spaces we inhabit. Through this exploration, the exhibition celebrates the tangible bonds that bring design to life.

Furniture ought to make room for people. That has been the philosophy since 1942, when FDB Møbler was founded, with architect Børge Mogensen heading up the studio. Many new designers have since entered the fold, but the foundational principles remain the same: To create beautiful, functional and exceptionally crafted furniture that makes room for everyday living at home. FDB Møbler is internationally known as a frontrunner of Danish design. It’s a story of classic pieces to be passed down from generation to generation. Regardless of whether they are talking about iconic pieces or new, innovative designs, the goal is the same: To have the veritable quality of life that was envisioned when the first pieces of furniture emerged in 1942.
