Thorup Copenhagen shares a love for the art of furniture and lighting making, inspiring appreciation for objects crafted with integrity and designed to endure. Since its launch in 2018, the Copenhagen–based brand has been dedicated to creating thoughtfully crafted furniture, lighting, and objects that not only emphasises durability but also serve a functional purpose in everyday life. Every element is carefully considered to foster a deeper connection to design and craftsmanship.

For this year’s 3daysofdesign, Thorup Copenhagen presents a curated exhibition at Papirøen—showcasing a love for the art of furniture and lighting making. A deep curiosity for materials and a thoughtful design process, equally as significant as the final object, are reflected in the collection and available for visitors to experience firsthand at the festival. Explore, connect, and see how each object is crafted to foster appreciation for integrity, durability, and functional purpose in design.

Graduate designer Anke Neumann makes handmade paper glow in an unusual way. In her workshop, she makes large–format papers, incorporating light–conducting fibres. Similar to veins, these run through the paper surface and also form a kind of framework that contributes to the stability of the form. LED light is guided through the fibres and emitted laterally outwards in the paper layer. Together with the material aesthetics and design language, the light papers combine sculpture, luminaire and unique piece. They are not just objects that attract a lot of attention due to their shape. They are capable of enchanting a room, bathing it in poetic light.
