Royal Danish Academy
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.
