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.

In differential geometry, the Grassmann product—represented by a wedge—constructs higher–dimensional objects through the addition of existing dimensions. WEDGE channels this mathematical operation as both metaphor and method. The studio explores the space between abstraction and matter, using technologies like binder jet 3D printing, LIDAR scanning, and computational modelling to redefine how materials behave and how forms emerge. Through recursive design systems and material experimentation, Wedge builds contemporary furniture and spatial objects that encode process, perception, and precision.

Studio KO’s Scandinavian debut is a visionary Vipp guesthouse for Copenhagen’s 3daysofdesign. In an unexpected rendez–vous between refinement and roughness, Vipp has invited Marrakesh and Paris–based architecture practice Studio KO to design an ephemeral guesthouse during Copenhagen’s design festival, 3daysofdesign. Studio KO unveils their interpretation of a Vipp guesthouse responding to the Danish brand's growing portfolio of significant properties in spectacular settings around the world, from Puglia to Tasmania and Todos Santos. Studio KO has crafted a scenography that captures a tension between opposites. The project will feature bespoke iterations of Vipp’s iconic designs all reimagined through their singular lens.

Picture the north. Rugged landscapes, breathtaking scenery, mountains, fjords, endless woods, and clear blue waters. Rough winters for contemplation. Bright summer nights for socializing. This is Norway. Focus on Oslo. A tiny urban culture with friendly vibes. Diverse people. A mix of talent, peace, and vibrancy. A place to feel at home. Northern, born in Oslo in 2005, is a small Norwegian producer crafting the very best in furniture, lighting, and design accessories. Blending creativity with traditional craftsmanship, is what makes Nordic design cooler and ever more beautiful—by continuously improving and challenging ourselves, and making the Northern collection more unified in spirit and style.

Fucina Frammenti is a sustainable brand with an online shop focused on contemporary designs that prioritise material analysis and production processes. The brand aims to find new uses for Noble Waste—processed or semi–finished results—derived from the production cycles of other companies. This waste is repurposed through thoughtful design, creating new products with minimal energy expenditure while adhering to principles of disassemblability and monomateriality. This formula, called Noble Waste Mix, embodies a circular production-consumption-reuse model. Fucina Frammenti continually refines its practices through research, experimentation, and exploration of new materials, resulting in a constantly evolving product catalog.
