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.

You’re not like everyone else. Neither are we. You won’t find us in every home, in every store, or in every office. We’re among the few Norwegian furniture manufacturers who still design and craft our furniture at our own factory. We’ve been doing that since the 40s. And we’ll continue to do so, right here in Sykkylven, the country’s furniture capital. We make products built to last. In fact, no one should want or need to throw away an LK Hjelle product. That’s our vision. And it ensures that we always double-check that the screws are tight, that we choose the best suppliers, and that we make it easy for our customers to have their furniture repaired, so they get renewed life and can bring joy to many, many, many…

HUBBUB develops 100% natural acoustic materials for architecture, replacing synthetic layers in acoustic systems. Made from jute fibres and natural latex, without added plastics, the material combines documented performance with long lifespan and architectural integrity. ESSENCE surfaces remain open and breathable, preserving acoustic performance while adding tactile depth. Natural elements are pressed into the surface, becoming part of its texture rather than applied decoration. Designed in Denmark, the material stores carbon and is developed for long-term use.

At their workshop on Portugal's Silver Coast, De La Espada combines artisanal furniture making savoir faire with rigorous, research–based contemporary design. Their portfolio of iconic and timeless pieces includes designs by their in–house studio, De La Espada Atelier, and by great figures in the world of international design. Specialising in woodworking and upholstery, they also collaborate with Portuguese artisans across disciplines. De La Espada sits at the heart of design and craft in Portugal and represents true luxury: creativity rather than imitation; extensive research and development; traditional methods that are in scarce supply; a singular aesthetic point–of–view; and no compromise when it comes to materials or effort.

Within the evolving landscape of the contemporary home, Karakter introduces a collaboration with Cassina, Karakter x Cassina, shaped by a distinctive creative sensibility grounded in design culture and curatorial precision, while enriching the collection with a refined yet unmistakably expressive attitude. Rooted in a spirit of curiosity and an eye for the unconventional, Karakter champions a design language where clarity, personality and experimentation coexist. Its international outlook informs a portfolio that spans seminal authors and emerging voices. Each piece is selected for its conceptual strength and the unique perspective it brings by challenging traditional habits. Guided by an editorial approach rather than a formula.
