Utopia & Utility believes that everything that deserves to be made, deserves to be made well. Their creations combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design to bring meaningful, beautiful, and functional sculptures into everyday life. Founded in 2012, Utopia & Utility merges the functional with the fantastical through handcrafted vessels that unite materials like glass, wood, and metal. Each piece tells a story of collaboration, heritage, and sustainable creativity. Utopia & Utility is passionate about the union of form and function. Their handcrafted glass and wood vessels serve not only as practical objects but also as sculptural expressions of beauty and purpose. Each piece is created in partnership with skilled artisan across Europe.

Raw & Refined | This summer in Copenhagen, two independent brands—Utopia & Utility and Teixidors—come together in a shared vision of design, craft, and material integrity. Rooted in a deep respect for natural resources, both brands explore the intersection of tradition and innovation, transforming raw materials into timeless, tactile objects. Utopia & Utility blends artistry and function, layering materials like glass, wood, and ceramics into sculptural yet practical designs. Teixidors, with its masterful textile craftsmanship, works with the finest sustainable fibres—Merino wool, cashmere, and linen—woven by skilled hands on traditional wooden looms. In this joint exhibition, the conversation between material and maker takes centre stage.

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.

Birgitte Due Madsen is a Copenhagen-based artist and designer working across furniture, objects, and sculptural form. Her practice centres on materiality, light, and aesthetics, exploring how structure and surface inform both function and perception. Working with materials such as gypsum, resin, wood stone, and concrete, she develops pieces through a process that moves from abstraction to precise realization. The work spans custom commissions, serial designs, and unique pieces, often produced in close dialogue with manufacturers. Defined by tactile textures, controlled colour, and a distinct geometric language, each object reflects a commitment to craftsmanship and a considered approach to form, material, and use.

Edin and Lina Kjellvertz launched Dusty Deco as a platform for curating vintage furniture, interior accessories and art. After having traveled the world and browsing flea markets for the most unique pieces, their home and storages quickly filled up to the brim with rare designs. Ten years later, Edin and Lina began drafting a new chapter in the brand’s history when closing the doors to its vintage business, instead launching their own collection of furniture, rugs and details. Today, Dusty Deco is a contemporary design brand, creating pieces with just as much storytelling, originality and passion for craftsmanship as the vintage finds that originally inspired the couple to start their company.
