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.

The Boffi|DePadova Way of Living is made up of details, customs and practices woven together into a rich tapestry. The group proudly narrates this story via the offering of interior systems and furniture elements where quality and consistency are fundamental values. Versatility and the intelligent use of interior space form the basis of the integrated design offer from Boffi|DePadova. These two aspects are expressed by the group in the way it develops not only individual products with a unique personality, but in its ability to put forth a complete project that conveys a distinct mood by merging different entities. It is a manifesto of contemporary architecture.

With a history that spans more than 100 years, the Georg Jensen brand represents quality craftsmanship and timeless aesthetic design, producing lifestyle products ranging from hollowware to watches, jewellery and home products. The philosophy of Georg Jensen himself was to create democratic designs possessing both functionality and beauty. His artisanal skill and artistic talent combined with his continuous ability to identify and support design talent was the foundation on which he built Georg Jensen in Copenhagen in 1904. Our most important task is to leverage the ideas and principles of the master himself and translate these into the design of the present day.
