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.

MANO design studio is a Seoul–based studio founded in 2016 by Bo Ah Kim. With a background in interior design in Korea and further studies in Product Design in Milan, Kim develops work at the intersection of traditional Korean craft and contemporary design. Her practice focuses on lighting and objects made from Hanji—traditional Korean paper hand–pressed from mulberry bark. Each piece is made by hand: cutting, folding, and stitching to draw out the quiet dialogue between light and material. At the heart of her work is the act of stitching itself. Each stitch is not decorative, but a record—of time, attention, and the steady rhythm of the hand. The work holds what cannot be seen: the duration and care inscribed into every mark.

With deep respect for design and acknowledging the urgent need for a circular transformation, FÓLK creates objects and furniture that enable the circularity of materials. Some of FÓLKs circular designs—such as The Airbag and The Lava Vase—have already become modern design icons, expressing how one’s waste can become another’s treasure. FÓLK explores new circular systems and develops designs from materials that are discarded, disregarded or leftover and through that journey aspires to facilitate people and companies to create more responsible interior solutions.
