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 idiom of AYTM is characterised by simple and stylish shapes, complemented by the sculptural structures of Scandinavian interior classics that stand out for their bold, voluminous, and eye–catching nature. The purpose of AYTM's existence is to reinvent design traditions, providing interior design with a new perspective through a more expressive approach to Scandinavian design. The magic unfolds in the contrasts between clean lines, materials, and surfaces, enhanced by a balanced and soft palette of colours, adding the unique touch to AYTM. With this, the essence of every AYTM collection is focused on high quality and exquisite details, creating exclusive yet long–lasting pieces that excel in both functionality and aesthetic expressions.

soca—scent of the calm—is a brand rooted in Japan, a land shaped by the ever–changing expressions of its four seasons. Inspired by fragrances from native plants and the gifts of nature unique to each place, soca captures scent as something gently received from the natural world. Rather than asserting itself strongly, each fragrance quietly exists—calmly present and softly enveloping a space. The brand is also deeply connected to Japanese craftsmanship, collaborating with small workshops and skilled artisans instead of mass production to preserve the beauty of handwork while creating thoughtful new pieces.
