For artist Jane Ostermann-Petersen, sustainability and simple living are not buzzwords, but a radical design methodology. Now a landmark at Refshaleøen, her modular wood-clad housing structures KOLONIEN are in fact constructed as transitional shelters, developed for flexible small-scale living with a carbon-neutral footprint. With an added series of bespoke furniture and fittings – a sink and pendant light series crafted from scrap plywood using traditional charring techniques, as well as stools, tables and firepits – Jane expands her concept for sustainable living into a ‘total design’. The unique products share a rugged yet refined aesthetic; an eco-punk take on the Nordic design tradition.

During 3daysofdesign KOLONIEN will host a series of events focused on the intersection of design, crafts and nature. On Wednesday June 7th SLOTH ROUSING and ACHW will present a sneak peak into The Rolling Pin project investigating the traces left by tools in what we eat, how we evolve and in our traditions. On Thursday 8th, JANE OSTERMAN-PETERSEN will give a guided tour of the three houses that make up KOLONIEN – the workshop, the annex and the home (/living lab) – and give insights into the stories and design principles behind their construction. Concluding the series on Friday 9th, textile designer TINA RATZER will share her experience with working with natural dyes, creating a full colour palette from natural pigments.

Epal was founded in 1975. The story began when Eyjólfur Pálsson, the founder of Epal, returned from Copenhagen after completing his studies in furniture and design. He soon realized that in the field of design in Iceland something was missing which became the trigger for the creation of Epal as a design company.  From the beginning Epal’s vision has been to increase Icelanders' understanding and respect for good design and quality products. Throughout the years Epal has been doing this by promoting good design and offering customers well known design products. Epal has always supported Icelandic designers and made an effort to help them promote their work and production, as well as Epal’s activities have increased Icelanders' understanding
