In its wake, murmurs among industry professionals would indicate 3daysofdesign has eclipsed Stockholm Design Week. Still quieter whispers wonder if 3daysofdesign’s growth might signal some kind of turning point regarding the king of all design fairs, Salone del Mobile.
The year's biggest design festival has just wrapped up, and we were introduced to a wealth of news and new design trends.
3daysofdesign in Copenhagen, Denmark is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. This event, which is held every June, is expanding year by year with a focus on interior brands from Denmark, and is gaining international attention. Reporting on events such as noteworthy new releases and sustainability initiatives
Last week, 3 days of design took place in Copenhagen, bringing together Scandinavian and international press, stylists, photographers and buyers for a packed program consisting of exciting lectures, presentation of news and trends, and not least tons of inspiration.
After 10 years, it's becoming probably, after Milan, the second biggest destination for design...
At Copenhagen’s 3daysofdesign it feels as if you’re never more than one minute away from your next dose of inspiration. As in the paroles in the Bob Marley classic, ‘the sun was shining, the weather was sweet’, and thanks to ARCHITONIC’s soirée at the vibrant Dandy, I re-discovered my dancing feet!
The event definitely delivered, within the setting of beautiful Copenhagen where the old and the new blend so seamlessly to create intimate spaces both outside and in.
The city was abuzz with some 200 exhibitors showcasing new collaborations, concepts, and products—and plenty of frøsnappers to keep attendees sated.
3daysofdesign is Denmark’s annual design festival, conceived as a platform to showcase and celebrate great design. It’s the opportunity to meet, network and be inspired by designs from local and global talent. The informal atmosphere welcomes people to engage directly with design brands at stunning locations all over Copenhagen.
Contact UsSince its inception in 2013, Signe Byrdal Terenziani has facilitated the growth of the design community in her role as Managing Director. It all began as a small design event held in an old warehouse in Nordhavn, a harbour area overlooking Copenhagen’s waterfront. Four Danish brands launched the event as a joint initiative: Montana, Erik Jørgensen (now owned by Fredericia Furniture), Anker & Co, and Kvadrat. At that time, Copenhagen lacked a proper design festival, since the previous annual furniture fair at Bella Center closed down some years before.
Today, the 3daysofdesign festival extends to the entire city of Copenhagen and is considered the most significant annual design festival in Scandinavia and Northern Europe.
Each year since its inception, 3daysofdesign has grown in popularity exponentially. In 2024, over 400 brands exhibited at the festival, where over 45.000 visitors could choose from as many as 500 events to attend in various design districts across Copenhagen, such as design talks, product launches, networking, etc.
3daysofdesign takes place every year in Copenhagen mainly in showrooms and galleries during June, Wednesday to Friday. In 2025 the festival will be held from 18 — 20 June 2025.
Pack your bags, book a hotel and come to Copenhagen! 3daysofdesign is open to the general public and everyone is invited to visit the showrooms, exhibitions, workshops and design talks. All events are free of charge.
