UMAGE takes its name from a Danish word meaning “making an effort,” reflecting the care and attention they put into design and its processes every day. Founded in 2008 by Jacob Nannestad Hansen and Søren Ravn Christensen, UMAGE is a B Corp–certified brand that blends Danish design with quality, sustainability, and affordability. Their furniture and lighting combine aesthetics, functionality, and environmental care, with flat–packed collections reducing emissions. Adaptable and versatile, UMAGE products fit homes and public spaces, with replaceable parts, recyclable components, and customisable options that ensure timeless, evolving designs for modern living, made to enrich everyday life.

For this year’s 3daysofdesign, UMAGE presents Spaces That Shape Us. Design shapes the way people live, work, gather, and feel. The spaces around us influence routines, mood, and connection. Some stay over time, shaping experiences, routines, and memories. At UMAGE, thoughtful design begins with understanding how people truly live. From multifunctional furniture to lighting that adapts throughout the day, each collection balances form and function with lasting quality. Rooted in Nordic values and guided by honest sustainability, the designs evolve with the spaces and lives they inhabit. With Spaces That Shape Us, visitors are invited into the world of UMAGE. A story of everyday living, shared moments, and most importantly: design.

Slow Extraction / Dimora Circolare / Wasted / La Mesure. Marco Evaristti is an artist and architect trained in the studio of Professor Henning Larsen. His work operates between art, architecture, and design, examining responsibility and the systems shaping contemporary life. During 3daysofdesign, he presents Slow Extraction at the Odd Fellow Palace. The installation treats furniture as spatial structure—circular forms and cubes creating rhythm and small–scale architecture. Crafted in FSC–certified wood and plant–based textiles, materials remain visible. La Mesure extends the project, focusing on the body as measure and proposing furniture as lived architecture.
