Kim Naver Retrospective at 3daysofdesign 2026

exhibition · 2026-06-10

At 3daysofdesign 2026, Form Portfolios presents a landmark retrospective of Danish textile pioneer Kim Naver, whose six-decade career has quietly shaped Scandinavian design from her Copenhagen studio. The exhibition places Naver's textiles—characterized by structured compositions, rhythmic patterns, wool and linen fibers, and tonal palettes—in dialogue with selected objects of Danish modernism. It also previews a new tabletop textile collaboration with Dansk Moderne. Form Portfolios creative director Peter Christensen praises Naver's 'calm authority,' while founder Mark Masiello notes she has 'always been ahead of her time.'
