The Material Way
Cover image missing

The Material Way is a new collaborative platform for material-based studies focused on supporting curious creators who strive to craft a more holistic, local, and nature-minded future. Founded by curator and communicator Rita Trindade (Through Objects) and multidisciplinary designer Bonnie Hvillum (Natural Material Studio), it gathers artists and researchers in two international programs: Local Bio-based Materials and Natural Materials in Ceramics. The culmination of these two programs will be showcased at a group exhibition during Denmark's Design Festival, 3daysofdesign.

During 3daysofdesign, The Material Way unveils bio-based objects & materials crafted by students exploring the intersections of research, ceramics, art, and design. Hosted amidst the green oasis of Øens Have in the RefshaleØen district, this exhibition promises an experimental approach to design, pushing the boundaries of traditional exhibition concepts.

85 Years of Crafting Long-Lasting Love. You are not like everyone else. Neither is LK Hjelle. LK Hjelle is not found in every home, every store, or every office. The company is among the few Norwegian furniture manufacturers that still design and craft their furniture at their own factory. This has been the case since the 1940s, and it continues today in Sykkylven, the country’s furniture capital. This year, we’re celebrating 85 years of Norwegian craftsmanship. While trends come and go, LK Hjelle has stayed true to who they are – creating furniture that lasts a lifetime. In fact, no one should want or need to throw away an LK Hjelle product. Ever.
