Ukraine House in Denmark
Cover image missing

Ukraine House in Denmark is a Ukrainian cultural diplomacy institution with a mission to deepen Ukrainian—Danish cooperation in the field of culture and creative industries for sustainable peace in Europe. Located in the Gammel Dok in the centre of Copenhagen, since 2023 Ukraine House hosted more than 10.000 guests, held 10 exhibitions of Ukrainian contemporary art, architecture, design, photography, organised more than 100 dialogues, panel discussions, lectures, and presentations, and integrated Ukrainian content into leading Danish cultural platforms, such as the Copenhagen Democracy Summit, Copenhagen Architecture Festival, Kulturnatten, Copenhagen Photography Festival, and 3daysofdesign.

Ukrainian design nowadays is a response to reality—where materials define possibilities. In a time of upheaval, designers and artisans work with what is available: natural resources, traditional crafts, and recycled materials. The exhibition 'Material Resistance: Ukrainian Design in Action' explores how matter takes shape, transforming raw materials into contemporary design objects. Much like matter resisting pressure and destruction, Ukrainian design today is shaped by resilience, and every material becomes much more than just a resource—it carries cultural identity and ability to withstand external forces. This is a story of resistance, that is not just about endurance but also about transformation.

For 85 years, LK Hjelle has been crafting long–lasting furniture with a commitment to Norwegian craftsmanship. Unlike mass–produced alternatives, its designs are not found in every home, store, or office. As one of the few remaining Norwegian furniture manufacturers that still designs and produces its pieces in–house, the company has upheld this tradition since the 1940s and continues to do so in Sykkylven, Norway’s furniture capital. While trends come and go, LK Hjelle remains dedicated to creating furniture designed to last a lifetime. Built for longevity, each piece is crafted to ensure that no one should ever need or want to discard an LK Hjelle product.

Orla Culligan creates unique slip cast ceramics for the home in Clonakilty, Cork. She strives to provide high–quality products that bring joy to the owner’s home while keeping her business sustainable by minimising waste and maintaining a low environmental impact. The original inspiration for her work comes from discovering 'rubbish' washed up on the beaches where she grew up in East Cork. As she walks along the beach, flotsam and jetsam become tangled among the seaweed, their bright synthetic man–made colours standing out. Upon closer scrutiny, these objects reveal a gorgeous range of textures where the sea has intervened; seams and edges have softened, yet evidence of the making process and the machine still remains.

What if you could buy a chair that one day turned into a table, shapeshifting with your changing needs? This is the fundamental idea that LOOPE is based on, a new brand, launched by Polish–based, Studio Rygalik who has spent the last years surveying what it means to own furniture, protecting our planet from plastic waste. The result is LOOPE. This brand offers a furniture suite, called the Effects range, that includes five collections, Armstrong, Rounder, ALLin, OneL and faT Table. The distinct idea: made with 100% recycled material, after years of use, any of the products in the range can be returned and transformed into another currently available product.
