During this year’s 3 Days of Design, Note Design Studio presents its most extensive presence in Copenhagen to date, bringing together product launches, exhibitions, and collaborations across furniture, lighting, ceramics, and spatial design. This year brought together collaborations with Lammhults, Resident, &Tradition, Vibia, and Mutina, spanning furniture, lighting, ceramics, and spatial design.
Following the opening of its Copenhagen studio in 2024, Note has continued to strengthen its connection to the Danish design scene. From the opening of their own showroom to an expanding network of international collaborations, the studio has established a growing presence in the city.
“As we have established our studio here in Copenhagen, we can honestly say that we love being part of this design scene and, to a certain extent, contributing to and helping develop it. We were really excited to present our new projects and collaborations during 3 Days of Design this year”, says Susanna Wåhlin, Interior Architect and Partner at Note Design Studio.
Among the highlights is Big Bau for Lammhults, a larger and more generous evolution of the original Bau seating collection. Resident launches the Avant Lounge Chair, a sculptural seating design defined by oversized proportions and a distinctive visual presence. For &Tradition, Note expands the Alima collection with a family of new shelving pieces that build on the success of the original trolley.
Beyond product launches, Note created CENTER for Vibia, a lighting exhibition transforming Helligåndshuset into a sanctuary shaped by light. At the studio’s Copenhagen space, Note welcomed Italian ceramic manufacturer Mutina for Mutina c/o Note, an exhibition introducing a new modular ceramic brick collection designed by the studio.
Together, the projects showcase the width of Note’s multidisciplinary approach, moving between product design, interior architecture, material innovation, and spatial design.

MUTINA Emisferi, Mutina c/o Note
Mutina c/o Note is an invitation. Mutina came to Copenhagen, and we opened our studio doors to let their work take over completely. Within this setting, Mutina unveiled Emisferi, an innovative modular system from the Mutina Bricks line designed by the Swedish studio.
The new collection, Emisferi, designed by Note for Mutina, began with the brick as a starting point and expanded from there. A modular ceramic element conceived not just as surface, but as structure. Stacked, repeated, turned, it can divide a room without closing it, create inner walls that remain permeable to light and sight, and give a space the kind of quiet order that only honest materials can provide. Each unit carries the mark of its making. Extruded terracotta, tactile and warm, imperfect in the way that handmade things always are.
“Our starting point was the hemisphere as a unit of thought, a form so reduced it becomes almost invisible, yet repeated across a surface, it generates an entire landscape. Positive and negative, fullness and void: in Emisferi, neither can exist without the other,” explains Cristiano Pigazzini, Design Manager and Founding Partner at Note Design Studio.
The glazing, carried out by hand by skilled artisans, features a matte and velvety finish that enhances the three-dimensionality of the volume through subtle tonal variations, making each element unique.
&TRADITION Alima shelf
“When we first designed Alima for &Tradition, it was a response to a very specific need, the creative chaos of studio life. A trolley that could carry, move, and organize without taking over the space. What surprised us was how naturally it extended beyond the studio, becoming part of so many people’s everyday environments and routines” explains Kristoffer, at Note Design Studio.
That journey shaped what came next. Five new pieces emerged, a smaller trolley, a side table, and three shelving units, all developed around the same core idea, that a shelf should act as a frame for the things you love, a canvas for life. The subtly raised edge from the original piece remains, serving a quiet purpose, concealing the construction and softening the meeting point between wood and steel, allowing two distinct materials to feel inherently connected. A chrome frame, paired with oak or walnut. The same principle, expressed through a broader range.
VIBIA Exhibition
There are spaces designed to be seen. Others are meant to be experienced. CENTER belongs to the latter. Set in the middle of the busy city, yet entirely apart from it, you step into a space shaped by the quiet power of light. At its center, a single large table anchors the room. A natural point to gather, pause, or simply sit with the light. Around it, Vibia’s lighting unfolds as a complete atmosphere – a composition of contrast, scale, and presence.
A space where Vibia creates a sanctuary of light. Step in, slow down, and stay longer than you planned.
RESIDENT Avant Lounge Chair
Most club chairs know their place. Avant does not, and that was always the point. The question was never about size. It was about how much expression a single object can hold before it tips into something else.
The armrests are the obvious place to start. Deliberately oversized and playfully misaligned, they dissolve the edge of the chair, making it harder to tell where the object ends and the space around it begins. The swivel base follows the same logic. Oversized by intention, it creates shadow and negative space that give the chair a different weight depending on where you stand. You read it differently as you move around it.
“Soft geometry is not a contradiction. It is a very specific design problem, and one we find more interesting than either pure softness or pure structure. If something looks soft it should feel soft. If those two things are not aligned, the design has failed. Avant sits somewhere in that gap. Sculptural enough to anchor a room, relaxed enough to actually use. What we hope for, more than anything, is that moment when someone looks twice. Pauses. Reaches out to touch it”, says Malin Engvall, Product Designer at Note Design Studio on the idea behind the design.
LAMMHULTS Big Bau
“Bau was always about rejecting the rigid. When we first designed it for Lammhults, we wanted to do away with the dull conformism of modular seating, the kind that fills offices and public spaces and asks nothing of the person sitting in it. Bau was our answer to that. Lower, softer, more eccentric. A chair that ignores conventional ideas of right and wrong and lands somewhere more interesting, somewhere between a serious piece of furniture and something you genuinely want to spend time in”, says Kristoffer Fagerström, Product Designer and Partner at Note Design Studio.
The new version, the Big Bau, takes that idea further. Deeper, more generous in every proportion, and softer in a way that actually changes how you sit in it. Not on it. In it. Note Design Studio pushed the comfort envelope without losing the graphic clarity that defined the original, because a chair that looks good but asks nothing of you is a rare thing.
Designed with the home as its starting point, it carries the ease of residential living without compromising on the quality that contract and hospitality demand. Built to last, built to feel good and built to be used rather than admired from across the room.
