We are thrilled to announce that we are a Børsen Gazelle 2025 company, along with less than 1% of Danish companies of all branches.

"No nominations, no judging panels, no subjective evaluations – only figures from four consecutive annual accounts, which must, among other things, demonstrate continuous growth and a 100% increase in revenue. Being named a Børsen Gazelle is not a gift – it is a documented achievement and indisputable recognition of having delivered something that only very few manage to do."

𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐖𝐈𝐍: How can we provide emergency shelter in a circular way, without wasting resources over and over again? With this question in mind, we delved – and won - into the problem of earthquake shelters in Japan at the Phase Free Competition.

Japan is a highly developed economy, with plenty of large scale spaces such as gyms, multipurpose halls, designed also as temporary shelters for earthquake emergencies. It is not atypical that citizens spend up to 1 month at unpleasant living conditions, with no privacy and no sense of family. To address this issue, we combine to iconic Japanese techniques : 𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐢, the bamboo mats of 90x180 cm and 𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐢 -the folding technique- to produce elements that can be used a mats or shelves during daily use, but as space dividers and beds during emergencies. The modules fold and click together in various combinations , and with the help of standard single or double bed sheets with elastic rims, we are able to produce minimal homes within a large hall and provide a sense of privacy and belonging.

When the emergency situation is over, the modules can find their place at home once again.
