I belong

Eldvarm at 3 Days of Design · Copenhagen · 10–12 June 2026

The exhibition

A first expression of Louise Varre's belief that belonging is essential to us, and that we can begin to heal ourselves, and each other, through it.

I belong grew out of Louise's lifelong interest in the science of who we are, and how deeply our wellbeing is shaped by fire. For nearly half a million years we gathered around it every night, told stories, sang, shared meals, and our brains shaped themselves to the architecture of togetherness.

New and existing Eldvarm pieces by Emma Olbers, Daniel Rybakken and Guillaume Delvigne are on show. Each one carries the story of something we once did by the fire, and the science of how it still calms us today.

At the end of the visit, we would love to know: where do you belong?

3 Days of Design is Denmark's annual design festival, held each June across Copenhagen. It brings local and global design brands together in stunning locations throughout the city, in an informal atmosphere that invites direct engagement between makers and visitors.

The 2026 theme, Make This Moment Matter, is a call to move from more to meaningful, with a focus on considered choices, sustainable materials, and spaces designed to bring people together.

Louise Varre

Louise Varre

Louise grew up in Sweden and Norway, and has spent as many years outside Scandinavia as in it, bringing both deep roots and a broad international perspective to the brand.

Fire has been a constant. A childhood surrounded by fireplaces, then nearly two decades with the fireplace at the heart of her work. Alongside, a lifelong fascination with psychology, neuroscience and evolution.

For Louise, I belong is a deeply personal exhibition, the first time her two passions come together, expressed as one. She lives in Paris with her two sons.

Eldvarm

A fireplace is often the centrepiece of a room. Eldvarm was founded in 2015 on the belief that the objects alongside it should be beautiful enough to deserve that position. A Scandinavian brand built on the idea that beauty is not only surface, it is what makes something worth keeping.

Every piece is made mostly by hand in small European workshops, using materials chosen for how they age as much as how they look. What began with fireplace accessories has grown into a wider collection of objects for the rituals of gathering around a flame.
