During 3daysofdesign, we invite you to step into a quiet reflection on design as a lived practice.
The exhibition A Life in Design presents the work and legacy of Danish architect and industrial designer Knud Holscher (1930–2025), whose contribution forms an integral part of the Danish modern design tradition. In 1971, Holscher developed the first coordinated line of architectural hardware for d line, establishing a design language rooted in clarity, function and material honesty.
At the core of the exhibition is a curated selection drawn from Holscher’s personal archive. Through photographs, prototypes and visual notes - many created by Holscher himself - the exhibition explores a lifetime in design shaped by observation, use and continuity.
We look forward to welcoming you.

For Elemental House, Johan Hybschmann and his wife brought their Arne Jacobsen lever handles from their previous home installing them once again, instead of replacing them with identical new ones.
“I personally think the Arne Jacobsen handle is one of the three best handles ever made,” Hybschmann continues. “It fits with any interior and will always be relevant. Our handles carry our wear and tear on them – like some of our beloved chairs – and we see this as part of our home. They’re just great objects.”

Elemental House explores new, simpler ways of building that respect the integrity of each material and minimise long-term maintenance. A mix of softwood joinery, concrete and galvanised steel meets exposed brick, creating a tactile and durable interior that will evolve beautifully over time.
“We made sure to use as few different materials as possible. It was important to us to blend into the context and work with the existing elements of the house,” explains Johan Hybschmann. “All surfaces and fittings were chosen to stay in place indefinitely – to grow with the life of the house.”

I’ve lived here since 2012, and this is the first time I’ve really done something properly with the apartment.
It took a while to figure out what that meant. Not bigger changes, just better ones. Materials that age well, things you actually touch every day, and details that don’t need to shout to be noticed.
That’s also why working with @dline_as felt right. Everything is made in brushed stainless steel, and it’s one of those things you don’t fully understand until you use it. The weight, the texture, the way it sits in the hand — it’s just very precise.
We started with the kitchen, but it quickly made sense to keep it consistent throughout the apartment. Same material, same language, across everything from handles to faucets.

Curious — what’s one thing in your home you’d actually invest more in, if you were to do it again?
With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a light-filled kitchen and living space, the @vipp Cold Hawaii Guest House, invites you to slow down and reconnect with your surroundings.
Throughout the space, d line’s signature stainless steel products bring a calm, refined touch. The built-in tap and two-way shower from the Qtoo collection – crafted in marine-grade AISI 316 stainless steel – offer a sleek, resilient experience that stands up to the salty air of the coast.

While speaking with Rasmus Holscher about the long-standing collaboration between d line and Holscher Design, we were curious to ask: which d line product is his personal favourite?
Without hesitation, he pointed to the U lever handle, a timeless Knud Holscher design, and a piece that’s been in his childhood home for decades.
