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.

Studio ByHAA is an architectural design studio working in the intersection of craft, design, architecture and landscape. Our interior designs are handcrafted i Egypt through a dialogue with the local artisans and the Danish designers. We create from an understanding that all things and scales are connected. For us, design begins with the land, its textures, its rhythms, and the hands of the people who shape it. Our practice is about bringing the outside in, both literally and spiritually, by building spaces and creating objects that create a sense of belonging. We believe that the handmade has a capacity to reconnect people with the land, with nature, with a tangible time perspective from where we can feel ourselves at ease.

Established in 2020 in Armenia, OCHRE merges artistic ideas with artisanal expertise to craft objects for everyday life. At the heart of OCHRE’s practice is wool—a material that serves as both a physical foundation and a source of reflection. Yet wool is a starting point, never an obligatory final destination. In recent years, OCHRE’s collections have expanded into the world of embroidery, ceramics, and beyond. OCHRE creates objects for everyday life, guided by a search for more sustainable ways of relating to materials, to histories, and to one another.
