The legs are constructed from light birch.

Liza Fredrikke Rosenkilde Christensen: 'Quiddity'
It's the quiddity* of a childhood memory embracing the contents of sideboards found in every home. With it's homogeneous appearance in natural birch, the user experience is directed towards the moment when the doors opens revealing it's inner space covered with glowing copper, just as imagined during those childhood years.  *Quiddity (n.) - the nature or very essence of something.

Juni Glessing Hanstvedt: 'Moto'
'Moto' is a combination of a sofa and a bench. It is inspired by old Danish classics and new Nordic design. A solid oak bench is covered with a tempur-like mattress that only reveals the wood on the sides. A loose wooden board can easily be moved and changed from a table to a backrest. The construction offers both relaxed sitting posture and a more formal use. This makes the furniture suitable for both private and public rooms.

Materials: oak, leather, steel, foam, wool fabric
Size: H: 460 mm, W: 1500 mm, D: 600 mm

Caroline Langfeldt Carlsen: 'Tilt'
'Tilt' is a flexible lamp with a lean design. The lamp came from the idea of something simple, but yet it's a multi-functional product. The lamp itself is divided in two different parts joined together by magnets, and the smallest part you can detach and bring with you to give light where it's needed. 

Materials: maple, opal, acryl. Size: H: 1530 mm, W: 160 mm, D: 80 mm

Hedda Torgersen: 'Boo'
Playfulness and dynamics is what makes 'Boo' - a lamp that comes in a floor and table version. A rotating lampshade made of porcelain or Corian gives you a direct lighting and the translucency of the material also gives a warm, welcoming light to the room. With its angled legs, movable head and cord hanging like a tale, BOO gets an anthropomorphic character.

Materials: heltre ask, porselen, corian. Size: H: 500 mm & 1300 mm, B: 190 mm & 300 mm, L: 300 mm & 600 mm.

Philipp von Hase: 'Trialog'
'Trialog' is a three legged wooden chair designed for reverse sitting. Its back rest also serves as an armrest. When sitting in conventional chairs we often start to sink down or don't know where to put our arms and hands. Reverse sitting leads to a more upright body posture and can improve body language; for example in social group settings or consensus discussions. The single chair leg in the back allows you to use your own legs while sitting the other way around. 'Trialog' is a design discussion between the physical, psychological and conceptual form. which results in an ecological, empowering and ergonomic piece of handcrafted furniture design.

Materials: walnut, maple. Size: H: 740 mm, W: 420 mm, D: 500 mm
