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.

Ariake is a Japanese furniture brand founded by Legnatec and Hirata Chair, two manufacturers from the furniture–producing town of Morodomi in Saga Prefecture, each with over four decades of craft heritage. The brand takes its name from the Ariake Sea; “ariake” also means daybreak, marking a new chapter for its founding makers. The collection is developed under the creative direction of Gabriel Tan, in close collaboration with Morodomi's craftsmen and an international roster of designers, with the aim of creating new Japanese design icons. Each piece balances delicacy with structural precision, with careful attention to wood joinery, combining hand and machine production in equal measure.

GRID is a flexible, modular interior design system based on the original cube by Peter J. Lassen. Weighing just 800 grams, each cube can carry up to 750 kg. Connect hundreds of cubes in every dimension and customise with a wide range of components, materials and colours to suit your project precisely. From workplaces and retail spaces to hotels, museums and outdoor events, GRID adapts to present needs rather than past limitations. Built to be rebuilt, GRID is designed and made in Denmark.

PANI JUREK is a design studio combined with a ceramics workshop, run by Magda Jurek and Michał Borecki.​ It operates at the intersection of design, craftsmanship, and art. The objects created by Studio Pani Jurek go beyond their stereotypical functions, with interactivity being an inherent feature. Conceived as elements of spatial compositions, they often change depending on their surroundings and users. A distinctive trait of the studio’s projects is colour—a result of Magda Jurek’s background in painting. While functionality is not the starting point in the creation process, it is never neglected. Ergonomics and design discipline help tame imagination and material.
