Circular Furniture Days 2024
Igen i år arrangerer Lifestyle & Design Cluster eventet Circular Furniture Days, hvor innovative møbel- og interiørbrands præsenterer deres cirkulære produkter, løsninger og forretningsmodeller, og hvor diverse debatter, talks og pop-up events sætter fokus på vidensdeling om mulighederne indenfor en cirkulær omstilling.
Circular Furniture Days 2024 finder sted i Designmuseets Have under 3daysofdesign den 12.-14. juni og realiseres i tæt partnerskab med Formland, Plastindustrien og Designmuseum Danmark.
Om Circular Furniture Days
Dansk design inden for møbel og interiør har gennem generationer haft stolte traditioner for at være unikt og i høj kvalitet. Det er denne tradition, som Lifestyle & Design Cluster bygger videre på i forbindelse med eventet Circular Furniture Days som vi siden 2019 har afviklet under det internationale event 3daysofdesign.
Circular Furniture Days udvælger og udstiller møbler og interiør, eller løsninger omkring disse, som på den ene eller anden måde ligger inden for den cirkulære økonomi. Det kan være produkter som for eksempel:
- er produceret af genanvendte, overskuds-, og/eller organiske materialer
- er produceret ved hjælp af vedvarende eller fornybar energi
- er designet til at kunne holde
- er lette at reparere og renovere
- er designet til at blive skilt ad, så materialerne kan genanvendes
- lejes ud i stedet for at blive solgt
- har komponenter, som kan genanvendes i andre processer eller produkter
- er en del af en take-back-ordning, der sørger for at produkter eller materialer kan indgå i nye produkter/løsninger.
Der kan være tale om genanvendelse af plast fra verdenshavene, plastikflasker eller fiskenet, kreativ udnyttelse af de sidste kvadratcentimeter træ fra møbel-produktion, minimalistisk ressource-forbrug, genanvendt metal og mange andre kreative nyskabelser, der alle har til formål at reducere forbrug og spild eller at genanvende og genbruge materialer.
Udstillerne kurateres ud fra deres initiativer, bedømt ud fra temaerne:
- Cirkulært design
- Produktion og distribution
- Brug
- Genanvendelse og genbrug
- Materialer/sourcing
Cirkulær Økonomi
I fremtiden skal lineære forretningsmodeller erstattes af mere cirkulære, hvor for eksempel møbler er langtidsholdbare og lette at reparere. Cirkulært vil også være, at de materialer, der benyttes, er rene og bæredygtige, eller at møblet efter endt brug kan blive til materialer, som kan genanvendes flere gange.
Den teknologiske udvikling indenfor materialer (biomaterialer, genanvendelse af materialer uden tab) løber hurtigt, og inden længe vil vi formentlig se de første fuldt cirkulære produkter. Med det fokus, der er på klima, biodiversitet og sundhed, kan virksomheder, som favner de nye muligheder fuldt og helt, opnå et betydeligt kommercielt forspring.
Talks og Guidede ture
I forbindelse med Circular Furniture Days etableres desuden en række relevante ”talks” og engagerende debatter, hvor oplægsholdere og debattører sætter fokus på aktuelle emner målrettet møbel- og interiør-industrien. Her kan man møde og høre om inspirerende first-mover- og disrupter-virksomheder, der kan påpege cirkulære brændpunkter og en vej til løsning af disse, ligesom brands præsenterer sig selv.
Vi afvikler desuden guidede rundture i udstillingen, hvor virksomhederne præsenterer deres produkter.

Design education of the future
The radical sustainable restructuring of society calls for strong design skills
We are facing a radical green transformation of society. In an international perspective, Denmark is considered a design nation; there is no Danish business promotion without design also being part of the agenda. The transition towards a sustainable society calls for strong design competencies, both analytical, methodological, and in terms of crafting. We need designers who can visualize and shape an attractive sustainable future and translate new technologies into everyday human needs. To maintain Denmark’s position as a design nation in an increasingly knowledge-intensive and high-tech world, it is crucial that we have an internationally competitive graduate education in design. Otherwise, we lose ground, and our design education programs suffer, putting us at risk of losing an important innovative force in the sustainable transformation.

Designing for the Future – How to build the future by design
Professor Mariana Mazzucato from the University College London writes on the book Expand: Stretching the Future by Design: “In this book, Jens Martin Skibsted and Christian Bason contend that now is the time to widen the design discourse to take on the grand, complex challenges of tomorrow.” The authors write: “The world is screaming out for new solutions to tackle the myriad problems and mitigate their consequences. This calls for innovation – bold, new approaches that can be adopted by people, businesses, public organizations, NGOs, and even international bodies.

Green transition vs. sensitivity: The transversal work in the furniture industry
We’re facing a central conflict between green transition and business sensitivity. On the one hand, there’s increasing pressure on companies in the furniture industry to reduce their environmental impact and conduct their business more responsibly. On the other hand, companies face challenges in sharing sensitive data with their customers and potential competitors.
But recognizing the need to make progress in green transition, there’s a growing understanding that this information sharing is crucial. Join us for an insightful discussion on navigating the delicate balance between green transition and business sensitivity in the furniture industry!
Discover how companies like TAKT are addressing the central conflict by working with Målbar and Bureau Veritas on finding actionable solutions in their work with the green transition.
