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.

The graduate exhibition 'New Design and Architecture' shows how a new generation of architects and designers deal with specific complex problem areas. Their projects inspire others to opt for a novel approach to accelerating sustainable development and living. The 250 graduate projects emphasise how architecture and design can be important drivers of societal change. Moreover, in an affiliated exhibition, bachelor and master students showcase Egyptian–Danish furniture, a lighting project in collaboration with Le Klint and contemporary glass and ceramic objects. Finally a group of newly established Startups trained at the academy present their innovative business ideas and prototypes with a sustainable agenda.

Founded in 2013, by Massimo Tonetto and Melissa Lunardi, VENICEM manufactures lighting fixtures and furniture that result from an incessant stylistic research. A unique design vision that develops through a profound dialogue between primary shapes and matter.
Balance is essential in the transformation of material into finished products. Each material possesses peculiarities that must be understood, indulged and challenged. In the careful hands of experts, lamps and furnishings acquire traits and irregularities, regarding which investigation into the processes that give shape to the matter is necessary.
VENICEM’s headquarters are located in a place where natural elements are combined with a noble tradition of high quality craftsmanship.

Furniture is a concept with a will of its own, conveying a unique expression. The ambition of Källemo is to produce objects that endure over time — aesthetically, artistically, physically, and metaphysically. Sven Lundh, the founder of Källemo in its present form, expressed, "An object shall stand the wear of the eye!" That's where the toughest wear occurs. Källemo collaborates with designers and artists who understand the essence of quality - achievement unaffected by trends, while also possessing the ability to surprise and challenge, contributing their own personal expressions. Källemo places its belief in the precision of cutting-edge technology, but equally values the hand that applies the final personal, magical touch.
