The book 'Boris Berlin — Dialogues on Form' will be launched at the venue during 3daysofdesign. Designed by Rasmus Koch (DK) and published by Arnoldsche Verlagsanstalt (DE), it features texts by eight art and design historians, architects, and designers. As part of a dialogue, each contributor selected an object from Boris Berlin's design practice, collectively curating the exhibition. The installation will present these objects, with each curator explaining their choice at the exhibition's opening. Contributors include David Geckeler (DE), Jasper Morrison (UK), Deyan Sudjic (UK), Florian Hufnagl (DE), Marie-Louise Høstbo (DK), Christian Holmsted Olesen (DK), Mirjam Gelfer–Jørgensen (DK), and Vibeke P. Gether (DK).

A–POC, the acronym of 'A Piece Of Cloth', is the name of the integrated design and manufacturing system first introduced in Paris by Issey Miyake in 1998. A–POC revolutionised the process of clothes–making with its innovative concept of a streamlined, all–in–one operation, in which all the parts of the clothing are pre–woven into a single piece of cloth. Launched in 2021, A–POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE aims to realise the infinite potential of the A–POC system with society in mind—hence the name 'ABLE'. The brand’s designer Yoshiyuki Miyamae and his team of engineers value the dialogue between creator and wearer, as they engage with different professions and industries to further explore new possibilities in design and making.

Bread and Butter is an itinerant exhibition platform that explores everyday rituals through the concept of paired objects. Transforming everyday spaces—such as bookstores, salons, restaurants, and parking lots—into stages for collaboration, designers from different generations and cultural backgrounds translate their personal routines and local traditions into perfectly matched pairs. Just as "bread and butter" signifies something essential and inseparable, the paired objects form functional, aesthetic, and social relationships—quietly conveying each designer's experiences and contexts, while opening space for new connections and creative dialogue with local communities.

Gemla is a contemporary furniture maker—and always has been. Yet at the same time, they verge on being an anachronism. Always have. The company was founded in 1861, specialising in steam–bent furniture. It’s steam that makes bentwood furniture so exceptionally durable, yet graceful. On the factory floor, guided by the knowledge of craft, the brand meets patience, care and sustainability, passed down through generations. It’s no coincidence that its pieces are in high demand for hotels and restaurants—settings that require equal parts aesthetics and durability.
