Design Walks
3daysofdesign Design Walks are the perfect way to explore Copenhagen’s thriving design scene.
Walk With Us
Drawing on traditions of communal dining, our Long Table Dinners are a welcoming setting where 3daysofdesign guests can sit side by side, break bread, meet new friends and potential business — all while creating meaningful moments together at the festival. 
During our Design Walks, you’ll have unique experiences you might not discover on your own. Such as an artisan workshop tucked away in a cobblestone courtyard, or an unconventional designer displaying work in an unexpected exhibition space.
Our Design Walks are curated tours led by highly skilled, knowledgeable guides, keen on fostering a cohesive sense of community within each group of festival guests who share a common interest. Not only will you meet exhibitors, you’ll also be meeting like—minded design enthusiasts.
Whether you are passionate about design, an industry professional, a journalist, or someone simply curious about design, it’s a unique opportunity to meet the minds behind new, pioneering ideas, as well as legendary brands boasting some of the most iconic designs in the world.
Walk With Us
District
Kongens Nytorv
The King’s New Square dates back to the 17th century, designed as a Baroque garden complex inspired by the grandeur of Paris. The equestrian statue of King Christian V is a tribute to the square’s previous role as a ceremonial entrance to the city. A prominent landmark and popular meeting point, it’s close to The Royal Danish Theatre, Charlottenborg Palace, and D’Angleterre.

Christianshavn
Founded in the early 17th century by King Christian IV, Christianshavn was originally conceived as an independent merchant town, with canals inspired by the Dutch as vital for trade to Europe and beyond. Traces of its maritime past can still be seen in the artisan workshops, craft boutiques, and naval life that continue to influence the atmosphere.

Nordhavn
Historically, Nordhavn functioned as part of Copenhagen’s outer harbour, linked to the city’s growth as a maritime hub. Silos, piers, and warehouses for trade have been radically refurbished, while retaining their raw, industrial character. It’s slated to be the blueprint for a five-minute city, where every day needs can be met within a 5–minute walking distance.

Rosengård
During the reign of King Christian IV, Rosengård formed part of a fortified Copenhagen, enclosed by walls, bastions, and moats. The dismantling of these defences in the late 19th century enabled the city to expand beyond its medieval boundaries, and develop into a more modern, thriving centre of commerce and learning.

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.

Since 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 2025, over 460 brands exhibited at the festival, where over 60.000 visitors could choose from as many as 600+ 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 2026 the festival will be held from 10— 12 June.

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.

Please check the programme, which is updated on an ongoing basis, at 3daysofdesign.dk
