Aalto University’s MA in Interior Architecture is organized into two distinct study paths: Space and Furniture. Building on the legacy of Nordic Design, the experimental Furniture Program is hands-on and workshop-based, allowing for in-depth conceptual and speculative exploration of team-based or personal paths into the design practice.

During 3daysofdesign - KOLONIEN III Refshaleøen will become an eventful space for togetherness - featuring furniture and experiences designed by Aalto University students. Multi-national designers come together in Helsinki to create a new wave of furniture. The 1:1 prototypes are results of intensive six weeks project periods - working conceptually while experimenting with wood, plywood and metal at the highly advanced workshop facilities. Come and discover their work!

This focus on multifunctionality is not merely about utility but also a commitment to decluttering and simplifying living areas. Aesthetically, Karup Design’s creations embrace a minimalist ethos, characterized by clean lines, simplicity, and a natural color scheme, primarily using pine wood and complimentary color tones. This design approach extends beyond visual appeal, fostering a sense of openness and more space, especially in small living spaces.

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 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.

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