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.

Design House Stockholm defines itself as a publishing house rather than a conventional producer. Since 1992, it has invited both emerging and established designers, along with skilled manufacturers, to collaborate in shaping innovative Scandinavian design. By fostering curiosity and active listening, it curates and explores designs that blend quality and timelessness with personality and attitude. Each creation is driven by function and detail, often unexpected and thought–provoking, yet always achieving a sense of excellence in everyday life—what can be described as contemporary design poetry.

BEFORE VINTAGE FURNITURE creates furniture using wood that holds genuine value but had lost its place in the market for various reasons. Through precise craftsmanship and an architectural approach, the brand gives these materials a new future. Each piece of furniture is individually numbered, reflecting the belief that furniture becomes more meaningful as it ages alongside its owner. By revealing the quiet power of sleeping wood, the brand expresses honesty toward the material and the possibility for each piece to mature into a future vintage.
