Iteration Collective is a newly established design collective of young designers. The community has emerged from a shared desire to create and challenge each other, pushing creative boundaries to enhance their skills as designers. Through close collaboration, members tackle new design challenges, each producing original works based on a shared design brief with defined constraints and objectives. Recognising the importance of responsible design practices, the group is dedicated to exploring new approaches, challenging conventional norms in furniture design, and paving the way for more eco-conscious solutions. Iteration Collective hope to inspire future generations of designers and contribute to the dialogue surrounding design and sustainability.

Lys Fremtid/Bright Future invites you to explore the future of sustainable lighting. Iteration Collective presents 13 unique lamp designs created specifically for this exhibition. Based on a shared design brief shaped by current EU lighting regulations, members of Iteration Collective have been challenged to treat requirements such as reparability and circularity as creative constraints rather than limitations. All lamps are designed for disassembly and repair, and each design incorporates at least one Danish natural material, revealing the beauty and potential of local resources while questioning global material dependency. Together, the works let visitors experience new ways of designing and imagining light in a resource–conscious future.
