MANU MATTERS
Cover image missing

MANU builds object-to-human relationships. Their objects are all ‘characters’ to live alongside — not bought and sold, but adopted. Working across waste streams, the material becomes both the starting point and the guide, allowing its limitations to shape the design of each object. They craft objects from PET bottles, lemon peels, or sand — depending on what’s available around them. MANU believes this philosophy can help us rediscover the value of finite raw materials, encouraging more respect and care for the objects we live with.

Step inside the Future of Craft in MANU's Micro Factory and meet the latest addition to the MANU family.

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.

Galleri Sonja is visiting from Bornholm. Once a saddle maker’s shop from the early 1800s, Galleri Sonja is now a place where craft, culture, and community meet in the gentle rhythm of slow living. The gallery is not only a space for experiencing art, it is also a space where knowledge of craft is shared and passed on. Through exhibitions and conversations, Galleri Sonja helps preserve and expand understanding of traditional and contemporary craft. Inspired by Bornholm’s nature and light, its tactile materials resonate with works by local and international artists. During 3daysofdesign, you can visit Galleri Sonja in Kvindernes Bygning.

Founded in Japan, YAMAGIWA has spent more than 100 years creating spaces where lighting is shaped by a deep sensitivity to beauty. Beyond illumination, light is approached as a way of shaping atmosphere—bringing comfort, clarity, and a quiet emotional resonance to a space. Rooted in Japanese craftsmanship, YAMAGIWA values material integrity, refined detail, and lasting quality. Through collaborations with internationally recognised architects and designers—including Frank Lloyd Wright, Shiro Kuramata, and Toyo Ito—YAMAGIWA’s philosophy of light has found expression on an international stage.

soca—scent of the calm—is a brand rooted in Japan, a land shaped by the ever–changing expressions of its four seasons. Inspired by fragrances from native plants and the gifts of nature unique to each place, soca captures scent as something gently received from the natural world. Rather than asserting itself strongly, each fragrance quietly exists—calmly present and softly enveloping a space. The brand is also deeply connected to Japanese craftsmanship, collaborating with small workshops and skilled artisans instead of mass production to preserve the beauty of handwork while creating thoughtful new pieces.
