Meet Pil Bredahl, head of the committee for Crafts and Design at Statens Kunstfond, curator and co-developer at Adorno.design, board member at ITMV and member of the representative board at Design Museum Denmark. Designer and design mediator, judge on the TV show Denmark's Next Classic on national broadcasting TV.

Here are Pil Bredahl's top three recommendations to explore during 3daysofdesign 2024:

"The interaction between the globally oriented talks and the small independent design exhibitions is what attracts me to 3daysofdesign. I am participating in a talk about circular material use and look forward to learning more about the actual business model at THE UPCYCL.

An exhibition I am looking forward to is Anker Bak's display of his enormously serious work with aesthetic design for people with disabilities. It is an area of ​​design that has been under-prioritized for far too long. And then I wish I could just move into Designmuseum Danmark, sleep in the beautiful green yard and watch and listen to EVERYTHING there during 3daysofdesign."

At 3daysofdesign, our commitment extends beyond showcasing the latest trends in interior design and furniture. We strive to facilitate meaningful discussions, debate, and actively contribute to pushing forward a more sustainable approach within the realm of interior design and furniture business.

THE UPCYCL
Farvergade 4D, 1463 Copenhagen
THE UPCYCL is a B2B platform that enables what is waste for one company to become valuable resources for another. By connecting industries with industrial waste materials and companies that need them, THE UPCYCL creates circular possibilities. It fosters a tight-knit community where everyone shares surplus materials, maximizing the value of existing resources. In doing so, THE UPCYCL community reduces waste and virgin material consumption. All THE UPCYCL materials, referred to as New Waste materials, are uniform and flow continuously, ensuring that, when matched, the stream of New Waste materials keeps flowing. This enables companies to rely on a circular supply chain or turn industrial waste into a source of circular revenue.
THE UPCYCL
Anker Bak

Collaborating with esteemed entities like Carl Hansen & Søn, Takumi Kohgei, and Fredahl Rydéns, Bak was honored with the Wegner Prize in 2023 and the 2024 Finn Juhl Prize for his holistic and crucial design approach.
