Venture behind the scenes on our curated Design Walks

Discover special festival experiences and connect with designers and fellow participants exploring Copenhagen.

Walk with us as we venture behind the scenes to give you an exceptional festival experience that’s up—close and personal. You’ll meet designers and brands who will share their work, their passion and their creative credo first—hand, in an intimate setting that’s conducive to connecting.

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.

Questions?

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.

What's the story behind 3daysofdesign?

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.

How big is 3daysofdesign?

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.

Where and when does the festival take place?

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.
