Natural Material Studio is an award-winning, Copenhagen-based design and research studio redefining material innovation for a fluid future. Founded in 2018 by Bonnie Hvillum, the studio transforms natural and discarded resources into bespoke biomaterials, objects and environments that seamlessly merge functionality, artistry and circularity. Through reimagined design processes and architectural structures, Natural Material Studio is committed to shaping a more sustainable and interconnected world. With an experimental and future-focused approach, Natural Material Studio’s cross-disciplinary team works to explore new possibilities within the convergence of material science, artistic ingenuity and spatial design.

During 3daysofdesign, Natural Material Studio presents a series of new light works and room installations—The Feeling of Copenhagen—in the context of a historic building in the city center. Taking as their starting point the colours, textures and qualities of Copenhagen, both series are an intentional exploration of the elements that surround and underline our everyday lives in a city that is a never-ending source of inspiration. Using the studio’s bespoke biomaterial, the works embody a deliberate contrast between rigid frameworks and the organic, almost unpredictable qualities of locally-sourced natural materials. Each work is an invitation to reconsider the objects that we surround ourselves with, that we interact with and live with.

Kvik’s originality comes from redefining how people live in their kitchens. Since 1983, Kvik has focused on human connection, not just cabinetry—coining and trademarking the term Samtalekøkken® long before open–plan living was a trend. That idea—bringing conversations, family, and daily rituals into the heart of the home—has since become the global standard. Kvik designs with purpose: every line, material, and surface has intent, evolving the concept it pioneered while keeping it human–centred and true to Danish design values. Kvik keeps it fresh by collaborating with leading Danish designers like Rikke Frost, Hans Thyge, Says Who, and supporting rising talents such as Annika Hoffmann and Bly Studio.
