3daysofdesign x Bolia
In nature’s ever-changing landscape, we move, we change and we grow. When we are surrounded by tranquility and beauty, we find new inspiration, and we develop new ways of living, working and being creative. Constantly striving for a positive change for the better. With this in mind, in 2022 we participated in the annual design festival, 3daysofdesign in Copenhagen. Here you could experience a very special version of our Scandinavian design universe, displayed in our shop by Kongens Have.

Poppykalas x Bolia
On each of the three days, our design universe provided the setting for a Pop-up Flower Workshop with Poppykalas. The first of the lucky participants to arrive could create their very own signature Poppykalas bouquet with colourful, fresh organic flowers. The workshop was carefully guided by the creative founder of Poppykalas – floral designer Thilde.

A sneak peek at the new collection
During 3daysofdesign, we presented the first sneak peek of our new collection. Beautiful reinterpretations and new versions of the series we love, and a wealth of design inspiration in tranquil colours and natural tactility all took centre stage in an artistic backdrop of floral installations and wild, Scandinavian nature.

Studio Nooi, designers
Studio Nooi was founded by Giulia Pesce and Ruggero Bastita in Torino, Italy. They studied design in Denmark and find inspiration in the Scandinavian design language. Nooi’s design is always the result of good collaboration between people and is influenced by society, art, nature and cultural heritage, where the designers are closely involved in all phases of the project development. They have created the beautiful Visti armchair, which was launched in our spring collection, and they talked about their journey from budding designers to present day, where they have now firmly established themselves in the Scandinavian design world.
