Motarasu

COMPOSED MATTER curated by Norm Architects
Featuring Søuld, Sumum and Motarasu

At the centre of COMPOSED MATTER lies a shared dedication to materiality. Eelgrass, light and crafted surfaces are presented not simply as functional elements, but as carriers of atmosphere, texture and meaning.

COMPOSED MATTER brings together three distinct brands, each shaped by its own heritage, craft and aesthetic language. Curated and spatially designed by Norm Architects, the exhibition unfolds as a quiet exploration of how materials, light and space interact to shape our sensory experience.

With artworks and designs by: Sara Martinsen, Signe
Hytte, Isabelle Yamamoto, Amanda Betz and Pia Engström Agesen.

With contributions from: Fischer, Dedar, Linolie & Pigment, Huus, Tintology and Jullight

As we are getting closer to 3daysofdesign 2026, we look back at last year’s moments in Copenhagen.⁠ A gathering of light, material and atmosphere - where materials, ideas and people came together.⁠

Next week, Motarasu returns as part of COMPOSED MATTER, curated by Norm Architects. Together with Søuld and Sumum, we will explore how materiality, tactility and light can shape the way we experience space.⁠

Shaped from bamboo and refined through years of experience, the structure reinterprets traditional Japanese lantern making. Thin washi is wrapped around finely spaced ribs, nearly 75 meters of internal framework within each piece, resulting in a softer diffusion and a more evenly balanced light.⁠

Designed by Toshiyuki Tani. Handcrafted in Japan.

Launching Sunday, March 1.⁠
