BIG SHOWCASES ‘MATERIALISM' DURING 3DAYSOFDESIGN IN COPENHAGEN

During 3daysofdesign, the biggest design festival in the Nordics, BIG turned their headquarters in Copenhagen into a live showcase of material exploration through products, prototypes and objects. On the ground floor, a curated display featured prototypes for 1966, a collection of lava stone tables created with NeroSicilia; Shylights by Dutch duo Studio Drift; a new tile collection for Huguet Mallorca; barstools developed in collaboration with Muller Van Severen & Valerie Objects; Stellar Nebula lamps designed for Artemide – featuring the new 160mm size; and a solid travertine timepiece designed in collaboration with SolidNature and Humans since 1982. Extending to the 6th floor, a material library presented a collection of 55 cubes in stone, earth, concrete, metal, glass, wood, and fabric. Seven tables showcased the cover materials of the first seven Domus issues curated under Bjarke Ingels’ guest editorship, each displaying the full-scale prototype used on its respective cover, engraved with the Domus logo and reflecting the material theme of the issue.
