Portugal’s participation at 3daysofdesign under the Made in Portugal Naturally brand—presents Momentum, a curatorial concept exploring the dialogue between craftsmanship, cultural memory and contemporary design. Shaped by a deep connection to the Atlantic and the influence of the oceans, it reflects a culture rooted in tradition, innovation and material awareness. Through cork, textiles, wood, ceramics and metal, Portuguese design expresses continuity and transformation. Momentum highlights the ability to turn heritage into contemporary objects, positioning Portugal as a design ecosystem where craftsmanship, industry and innovation evolve together.

Curated by Miguel Soeiro, the exhibition presents Momentum as a reflection on Portuguese design, where tradition and contemporaneity coexist. Conceived as the imagined interior of a seaside home, it explores the relationship between objects, materials and a domestic landscape shaped by Atlantic culture and the influence of the oceans. Through furniture, textiles, ceramics, cork and metal, the exhibition reveals how Portuguese design transforms cultural memory and craftsmanship into contemporary solutions. It invites visitors to consider design not only as objects, but as a conscious process connecting home, memory and responsibility for the future.

A fireplace is often the centrepiece of a room and Eldvarm was founded on the belief that the objects alongside it should be beautiful enough to deserve that position. Eldvarm is a Scandinavian brand built on the idea that beauty is not surface, it is what makes something worth keeping. Every piece is made to do its job well and to stay beautiful doing it, year after year. What started with fireplace accessories has grown into a wider collection for the rituals of gathering around a flame.

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.
