Here, we share our daily lives, events, inspiration from urban spaces, opinions, and everything close to our hearts.
We live and breathe the creative mindset and process when it comes to designing, producing, and delivering dynamic outdoor furniture and fittings for the city and public environments

Stigsborg project –Where urban spaces connect people

How do you create a new neighbourhood where people don’t just live – but genuinely want to spend time in the urban space?

Three New Design Suggestions

The three new Plateau design suggestions explore different responses to the changing needs of public spaces.

EcoMix – Rethinking recycled materials for public spaces.

Sustainability is not only about what a product is made from. It is also about how long it stays in use. Creating outdoor furniture with a long lifespan has always been at the heart of our design philosophy.

With Circus, designer Thor Høy challenges the traditional bench.

With Circus, designer Thor Høy challenges the traditional bench – introducing a circular and flexible product family that invites movement, dialogue, and connection in urban spaces. Inspired by a simple pencil holder and driven by the desire to create more playful and human cities, Circus brings together function, aesthetics, and sustainability in one dynamic design.

Cable-free lighting – freedom to design brighter urban spaces

Freedom to rethink urban lighting - Solar-powered, cable-free lighting gives you the freedom to design brighter, safer, and more welcoming outdoor spaces – without the barriers of traditional infrastructure. It’s lighting that adapts to your project, not the other way around.

CIRCUS – Urban furniture that brings public paces to life

Circus is a series of urban furniture inspired by the Circus arena – a natural gathering point. It offers a dynamic, circular meeting place for everyone – regardless of age, background, or interest.

CIRCUS – rethinking urban space live at 3daysofdesign

CIRCUS launch during 3daysofdesign at BLOX in Copenhagen. With its soft shapes, circular forms, and modular design, CIRCUS invites people to stay, meet, act & go green. A new kind of gathering point for vibrant urban life.

Reusing furniture for temporary urban spaces

Reusing furniture for temporary urban spaces is both sustainable and provides valuable insights for permanent solutions

Temporary urban spaces while we wait for the cities

More and more people are still moving to the city. This results in constant change and development in urban areas, requiring renovations and new constructions. Between the upcoming and ongoing constructions lie the temporary urban spaces, increasingly utilized as part of this development. By & Havn, as the developer, has recently established a temporary urban space with input from residents, associations, and business entities in the district. Common desires expressed included more greenery, additional places for relaxation and gathering, street food and retail options, enhanced safety-oriented lighting, art, and playful elements. Based on these desires, By & Havn initiated temporary measures such as benches with integrated lighting, sculptural seating furniture and light installations, trees, food trucks, eco-cabinets, etc.
