BorisBerlin/Design is a Danish design studio that has made a significant impact on the Scandinavian design scene over the past 40 years, specialising in furniture, product, exhibition, and graphic design. Founded by Boris Berlin, both independently and as part of Komplot Design and later Iskos—Berlin, the studio has created iconic design pieces in collaboration with a range of Danish and international brands, including GUBI, HAY, MUUTO, Fritz Hansen, Eva Solo, and many more. In partnership with Designmuseum Danmark, BorisBerlin/Design has also contributed to several permanent exhibitions, including Danish Chair—an International Affair, Little Table, Cover Thyself!, Frankfurter Küche, and Kaare Klint.

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).
