POETIC PERSPECTIVES BY LISE VESTER
Can design influence our mental well-being? In Poetic Perspectives, Danish designer Lise Vester explores how light, optics, and reflection can create sensory experiences that influence our everyday lives and state of mind. Through a series of experimental works – crafted from materials such as mouth-blown glass, mirrors, and prismatic films – the exhibition invites moments of pause, presence, and reflection. Lise Vester takes a playful approach to design, where aesthetics and sensorial qualities open up new ways of experiencing space, the body, and movement – pointing to how design can inspire calm, wonder, and mental balance.

WEDNESDAY JUNE 18
Beneath the green canopy of the museum garden and within its historic surroundings, leading voices such as Spacon and Noma Projects come together for conversations on co-creation, circularity, and cultural transformation. With talks ranging from the future of exhibitions to the world of fermented flavours, the day highlights design as a living, evolving force rooted in community and collaboration.
THURSDAY JUNE 19
From morning coffee with designer Erwan Bouroullec to an afternoon salon hosted by the Danish Design Council, the day presents design as a shared narrative shaped by cross-cultural collaboration, shifting consumption patterns, and visionary approaches to form and function. At its heart is a meeting of Danish lifestyle and global perspectives, where figures such as Edition Denmark, Spacon, and The Circular Furniture Network use furniture, food, and materials as mediums for fresh ideas.

FRIDAY JUNE 20
Friday begins with hands wrapped warmly around porcelain — a tribute to tea, tradition, and mindful ritual, as A.C. Perchs and Edition Denmark create space for reflection through Danish heritage and Korean ceremony. As the day unfolds, attention shifts to the digital and the circular, with discussions centred on compliance data and recycled materials. With insights from voices such as Målbar, Muuto, and Ferm Living, the festival draws to a close with a focus on innovation, responsibility, and design for the future.
