COMMON GROUND Symposium x IKEA
Cover image missing

This year, 3daysofdesign are collaborating with IKEA to create COMMON GROUND Symposium - a space for dreaming bold dreams for our future. The planet needs space to rest and regenerate for future generations. So do we. Visitors are invited into a dreamy playground at Food Studio in District Refshaleøen, where slowness and time for reflection is a priority, and are dared to dream. Whether you’re a sustainability expert, policy maker, designer, architect or just interested in how design can be a force for change.

COMMON GROUND Symposium is an exchange of perspectives serving as a platform during 3daysofdesign where experts, innovators, and designers meet to explore the intersections of sustainability, materials, and circular design principles. Moderated by Veronica D’Souza, you will meet Luca Nichetto, Anupama Kundoo, Akanksha Deo Sharma, Alfredo Häberli, Michael Anastassiades, Ineke Hans, Liza Chong, Bonnie Hvillum, Tej Chauhan, Larry Botchway, Steffen Kallehauge, Marcus Arvonen, Maria Vinka, Philippe Brocart, and Anker Bak. Join us as we unite the design community to envision a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable future. All sessions are free, but require registration. Book your free ticket now.

Unwanted fibre becomes an UNWONTED experience. The brand makes alpaca duvets from fibres that would otherwise go unused. Across Poland, 47 small farmhouses produce fleece in quantities too small for industrial processing. UNWONTED collects, grades, and processes these volumes into duvets with GOTS–certified organic cotton shells, entirely free of synthetic components. Founded in 2025, the brand bridges Copenhagen design and Polish agriculture, where the founder's father and sister trained as professional shearers to supply the collection. Collection that is limited by the natural shearing cycle. Alpaca fibres accounts for 0.05% of world textile production and the experience of sleeping under it remains unfamiliar to most.

Kaikale is an India-based furniture brand rooted in local craftsmanship and people-driven making. In collaboration with the Scandinavian architect Alexander Mihel, the work brings together traditional Indian carpentry and Scandinavian design principles. Kaikale x Alexander Mihel presents a furniture collection developed over 2,5 years through a hands-on collaborative process. The collection is made using carpentry-based methods, working with established hardwoods and also experimenting with non-forest timber such as coconut timber. In India, the coconut tree has traditionally been fully utilised, with every part used. The furniture continues this approach by giving coconut wood a long life as durable, long-lasting pieces.

Örsjö is founded on simple values and strong convictions, dedicated to developing and handcrafting premium lighting in its local factory with the sincere ambition of leaving the best possible mark on the planet. Handcrafted objects carry an intangible sense of human touch and warmth—a connection between creator and user that is often lost in industrial production. For this reason, craftsmanship lies at the heart of Örsjö’s work, with local artisans involved across the entire product range. Welding, soldering, bending, polishing, painting, assembling, glass blowing, and leather carving all take place either in Örsjö’s own factory or in trusted workshops within the region. Ultimately, Örsjö strives to create products designed to outlast their makers and contribute positively to the world.
