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.

Peach Corner is an artist–run exhibition space for artistic materialisations in clay. Peach Corner present the ceramic discipline across craft, design and visual art expressions in what is, obviously, a fairly fluid field. In the permanent exhibition space, Peach Corner organises seven exhibitions a year. During 3daysofdesign, Peach Corner will stage a special exhibition that presents functional ceramics: objects that play a part in acts and utilitarian contexts. Peach Corner wishes to showcase good ceramic ideas, sensuous shapes and clay transformed into form and design with a distinct character and contemporary relevance.

TADA Studio is an independent brand founded by Tara Dahlin, working from her remote workshop in Western Sweden. Her design process is guided by intuition, allowing materials and forms to shape each creation. By experimenting with contrasting shapes and unexpected details, she crafts sculptural pieces that blur the line between functional design and art. Her dedication to craftsmanship has fostered collaborations with like–minded designers and makers, including Erin Karlsson and Emi Shinmura. This creative synergy has evolved into TADA Studio & Friends for 3daysofdesign, where their work will be showcased together.

A unique design vision that develops through a profound dialogue between primary shapes and matter. Balance is essential in the transformation of material into finished products. Each material possesses peculiarities that must be understood, indulged and challenged. In the careful hands of experts, lamps and furnishings acquire traits and irregularities, regarding which investigation into the processes that give shape to the matter is necessary. VENICEM’s headquarters are located in a place where natural elements are combined with a noble tradition of high quality craftsmanship.

Furniture ought to make room for people. That has been the philosophy since 1942, when FDB Møbler was founded, by architect Børge Mogensen. Many new designers have since entered the fold, but the foundational principles remain the same: to create beautiful, functional and exceptionally crafted furniture that makes room for everyday living at home. FDB Møbler is internationally known as a frontrunner of Danish design. It’s a story of classic pieces to be passed down from generation to generation. Regardless of whether they are talking about iconic pieces or new, innovative designs, the goal is the same: To have the veritable quality of life that was envisioned when the first pieces of furniture emerged in 1942.
