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.

Sculptural Minimalism’ has been a guiding principle since the beginning of Kristina Dam Studio, influenced by movements such as Bauhaus and Japanese design. The aim has always been to create minimalist yet impactful pieces, functional yet artistic. At Kristina Dam Studio, the home is regarded as a place where the beauty of art integrates seamlessly into everyday life. By normalising the presence of sculptures and artistic objects, Kristina Dam Studio brings art out of the exclusive realm and into communal spaces, enriching the environment and inspiring those who inhabit it. The ethos of ‘Sculptural Minimalism’ continues to guide the studio, as it designs products that merge functionality with aesthetic refinement.
