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.

Solid Space Studio bridges architecture and furniture design, creating modern, timeless pieces and spaces that prioritise human scale, connection, and thoughtful context. The studio designs for long–term use, developing furniture and environments that enhance everyday life in both private and public settings. At 3daysofdesign, the studio presents the Sun Ray Chair—an asymmetrical work of art designed by architect Desiré Apelgren, founder of the studio. The chair reinterprets a classic form in a fresh, bold yet timeless way, challenging conventions while reflecting the studio’s focus on the relationship between furniture, space, and human interaction.

ELVO was founded in 1923 by Valdemar Martin Ørstrup, who named the company after four of his children: Ellen, Leo, Villy, and Orla. The company remained family-owned until 2019 and has, throughout the years, supplied boxes to many historic and creative workplaces across Denmark. With a new group of owners, ELVO has moved after 70 years on Uplandsgade to an industrial courtyard on Islands Brygge in Copenhagen, where all of our products are handmade. At the factory, Elvo welcomes visitors into a space that radiates history and a passion for the traditional craft of box-making. Elvo aims to challenge the throwaway culture and create classic products that age gracefully.

Project Materia is an evolving platform dedicated to the exploration of materiality - its histories, processes, and artistic potential. Bringing together internationally renowned artists across disciplines, the project examines how materials shape and challenge contemporary artistic expression. Rooted in a curatorial approach, artists are invited and curated by TABLEAU, fostering a dialogue between diverse practices and perspectives. In collaboration with Edition Solenne, Project Materia creates a space where material becomes both subject and medium - and where the boundaries of design, craft, and collectibility are continuously reimagined.
