Archival Studies
Cover image missing

Archival Studies is a Copenhagen-based design practice that explores interior architecture for transformation and care of the existing, applying regenerative concepts, flexible building systems, and sensory-rich environments. As the name implies, each process begins by understanding the available resources, letting patterns of life frame and direct the design work. Archival Studies strives to set new standards for materials and shape a contemporary definition of architecture and design that addresses the numerous challenges our planet faces today. In this new definition, the practice emphasizes viewing every piece of material as a valuable resource, with transformation, care and repair as guiding principles.

Archival Studies presents their recently introduced line Archival Products – the objects derived from the practice’s spatial research – within the spaces of their most recent interior transformation, the art center Gammel Strand.

Målbar has created a highly advanced and user friendly digital tool that can measure the climate impact of products. It screens products based on input data from users and average data from acknowledged data bases, making it doable to obtain useful results without making the traditional LCA. 
Målbar has made it achievable for every company to measure the CO2eq footprint of products and use the results as a point of departure for making more responsible design and production choices; the tool contains data about the impact of materials, production methods, packaging, transport, waste, etc.

Le Klint’s origins date back to the beginning of the 20th century, when architect and civil engineer P.V. Jensen-Klint folded the first hand-pleated lampshade for a kerosene lamp that he had designed. Since the establishment of Le Klint in 1943, the design company has focused on excellent craftsmanship and on retaining production in Odense. Over the years, the Le Klint collection has been designed by well-known architects and new designers, and consists of traditional and modern lamps, sold all over the world.

LK Hjelle distinguishes itself as a brand that, like its clientele, stands out from the ordinary. Not ubiquitous in every home or store, LK Hjelle proudly remains one of the few Norwegian furniture manufacturers committed to producing furniture in its own factory. This tradition has been upheld since the 1940s and remains steadfast in Sykkylven, Norway's furniture capital. The company's vision is rooted in the belief that no one should feel the need or desire to part with a LK Hjelle piece of furniture. LK Hjelle embodies the essence of “Long Lasting Love”.

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.
