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.

A fireplace is often the centrepiece of a room and Eldvarm was founded on the belief that the objects alongside it should be beautiful enough to deserve that position. Eldvarm is a Scandinavian brand built on the idea that beauty is not surface, it is what makes something worth keeping. Every piece is made to do its job well and to stay beautiful doing it, year after year. What started with fireplace accessories has grown into a wider collection for the rituals of gathering around a flame.
