But the highlight is Teenage Dream, for which three young Danish design studios have imagined what teenage bedrooms will look like in the future.

There is a selfie zone by Krøyer-Sætter-Lassen, a recharging station for the soul and for the phone by Our Shift – made from discarded festival tents – and a bedroom made entirely from biomaterials by Natural Materials studio (complete with a giant squishy mattress, kindly demonstrated by ‘s Shawn Adams).

The aim is to explore how young people’s progressive values and ways of living will seep into our homes.

“When we dream, we can reject all conventions and traditions, and we can feel free and be more open minded,” said curator Pernille Stockmarr.

“And who can do that better than teenagers?”
