The Royal Danish Academy—Architecture, Design, Conservation strives to be an active, creative and leading actor in society by contributing to tackling the major national and global challenges of our time. The Royal Danish Academy is a research and educational institution that is drawing on a historical foundation within the fields of architecture, design and conservation. Based on a solid tradition the Royal Danish Academy constantly develops its subject areas by uniting three fields of knowledge: academic research, artistic research and professional practice, which are three different ways of discovering, inventing and creating.

Set at the harbour–side home of the Royal Danish Academy’s Institute of Design, Product & Material, Here & Now celebrates design innovation. It presents new furniture design inspired by antiquity, marking the 7–year anniversary of a collaboration between Egyptian artisan–manufacturers and Academy students.The exhibition is accompanied by an outdoor installation of experimental ceramic furniture by Academy faculty. The Academy Library hosts three related exhibitions featuring graduate process work, lighting prototypes developed with Focus Lighting, and projects from the Academy Startup Hub. Tours of the Academy’s Chair Collection run through the day, while evening DJs & bars provide a relaxed setting for professional exchange and dialogue.

There is something really nice about getting up close—to the furniture, the makers, the production process. A. Petersen creates furniture with a focus on quality, craftsmanship and respect for professional expertise. Theor products are designed, developed and produced in Denmark. Furniture from A. Petersen is crafted with the intention to renew the Danish design tradition and carry it into the 21st century. Not in a grand or rapid way—for the sake of scale or tempo—but in a measured, serious way, for the sake of current time as well as posterity, because furniture should last a lifetime, and hopefully even longer. A good piece of furniture only becomes more beautiful through time and use, as lived life leaves its mark on the materials.
