The Form Follows creates furniture and design objects that balance clarity of form with a distinct sense of character. The collection ranges from refined accessories to bold statement pieces. While rooted in a minimal design language, the studio embraces the emotional potential of texture and colour, bringing warmth and personality to everyday spaces. Each object is conceived with longevity in mind, crafted from honest materials and shaped through thoughtful construction. Because good design doesn’t demand attention—it earns it over time.

At Café Niko, visitors will get an exclusive first look at the latest additions to The Form Follows' XD Chair series. The new designs refine the collection’s visual identity through updated proportions, material adjustments, and expanded functionality. With a subtle focus on outdoor use, the pieces explore how the XD Chair transitions between interior and exterior spaces. Within the relaxed café atmosphere, the exhibition invites visitors to engage with the designs while celebrating The Form Follows’ first year at 3daysofdesign. An on–site giveaway offers the chance to win selected products. The temporary takeover brings together design, community, and celebration in the open, collaborative spirit of Copenhagen’s 3daysofdesign festival.
