3DAYSOFDESIGN COPENHAGEN x MIRROR SCULPTURES
Maaemo, Oslo’s ground-breaking three Michelin starred restaurant reopened its doors at the new location in 2020. Run and co-owned by Head Chef Esben Holmboe Bang, the Reataurant focusesses on a complete experience. In doing so, they aim to highlight the relationship between the raw produce, and the finished product.
When I was aked to send my Circle Glass up North to Maaemo, I felt like the waterglasses were coming home to their northern family. Thank you for having us!
Maaemo – an old Finnish word meaning “Mother Earth” – is focused on creating a narrative around the clean, bright flavours of Norway. The produce used at Maaemo is entirely organic, biodynamic, or wild. Maaemo builds around its local produce driven cuisine with a focus on reflecting the changing seasons and the raw nature of Norway.
Maaemo has won accolades from food critics around the world. In 2012, just 14 months after opening, Maaemo was awarded two Michelin stars in its first ever mention in the prestigious guide, becoming the first, and only, restaurant in the Nordics to do so. In 2016 Maaemo was awarded a third Michelin star, becoming the first Norwegian restaurant ever to hold Michelin’s highest accolade and the world’s most northerly three Michelin-starred restaurant.
Presented during 3daysofdesign, MONUMENTS gathers ten artists whose practices explore material presence and emotional depth through quiet, enduring forms. From stone and pigment to glass and clay, the works invite stillness, reflection, and tactile connection.
Participating artists include Coseincorso, Marina Mankarios, Freyja Lee, Milena Kling, Lucy Page, Stine Regild, Betina Stampe, Kirsten Schrøder, Morgan Stokes and the duo Touch with Eyes — each offering a unique response to the exhibition's themes.
Photographed by Christian Anders of Norm Architects, the installation is a meditation on softness, slowness, and sensory resonance.
