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.

HUBBUB develops 100% natural acoustic materials for architecture, replacing synthetic layers in acoustic systems. Made from jute fibres and natural latex, without added plastics, the material combines documented performance with long lifespan and architectural integrity. ESSENCE surfaces remain open and breathable, preserving acoustic performance while adding tactile depth. Natural elements are pressed into the surface, becoming part of its texture rather than applied decoration. Designed in Denmark, the material stores carbon and is developed for long-term use.

Gemla is a contemporary furniture maker—and always has been. Yet at the same time, they verge on being an anachronism. Always have. The company was founded in 1861, specialising in steam–bent furniture. It’s steam that makes bentwood furniture so exceptionally durable, yet graceful. On the factory floor, guided by the knowledge of craft, the brand meets patience, care and sustainability, passed down through generations. It’s no coincidence that its pieces are in high demand for hotels and restaurants—settings that require equal parts aesthetics and durability.
