Danish Architecture Center
Cover image missing

Danish Architecture Center (DAC) is an international cultural attraction for everyone who wants to experience and understand how architecture and design create the framework for our lives. DAC is located in BLOX by Copenhagen’s inner harbour and part of the city’s Cultural District. Through exhibitions, events, and education, DAC inspires, educates, and engages visitors. Sustainability is at the core of DACs mission, reflected in its status as a certified Green Attraction. Discover the latest trends in architecture and design at DAC Design Shop, where every product is carefully selected with sustainability in mind. DAC Café prioritises organic ingredients, local produce, and animal welfare while actively minimising food waste.

THIS IS NOT A FOREST is a sensory installation at DAC tracing wood’s journey from forest to architecture. The exhibition is developed by Archival in collaboration with the Danish Architecture Center and Dinesen Lab, part of Dinesen. From raw logs to crafted materials, the exhibition examines how wood is shaped through design and how a deeper understanding of its nature, value chain and craft can support more responsible ways of building. Visitors move through a constructed forest of timber, shaped by light and sound, with scent developed by Studio Pneuma. The installation features bespoke furniture pieces and a welcome desk, designed by Archival and made from leftover wood from Dinesen. These are now a permanent part of DACs Welcome.

The world needs change—more sustainability, stronger communities, and a better life for all. That’s why design isn’t just about creating something new; it’s also about improving what already is there, making it more beautiful, functional, playful, and appealing. It’s about listening to people’s needs and involving them in creating future solutions. At Kolding School of Design, creative people from all over the world come together to do just that—through craftsmanship, artistic expression, and research. The teaching is based on practical experience, the latest knowledge, and close collaboration with the outside world.

Working in close collaboration with leading designers—and in constant dialogue between heritage and contemporary—Audo delivers a residential take that is deliberate and deeply liveable.This is where we meet: through thoughtful design, in real spaces, and in the feelings that endure long afterwards.

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.
