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).

Grythyttan Stålmöbler is one of Sweden’s oldest furniture manufacturers, with a long tradition of craftsmanship and Scandinavian design. For more than a century, the furniture has been handcrafted in Grythyttan using carefully selected wood and spring steel. This unique combination makes the chairs and tables exceptionally durable and weather-resistant, designed to last for generations. The characteristic gentle rocking motion of the chairs is created by the carefully shaped spring steel frame—a detail that still requires skilled craftsmanship.

Anno Studio was founded in 2021 with the vision of relaunching older design classics in a sustainable and updated design. The idea came from a desire to relaunch the iconic furniture Series 600 by Friis & Moltke Architects, which was initially known for schools, conference rooms, and canteens. The close combination of beautiful design and sustainability is the foundation of Anno Studio. Every part of the production focuses on sustainability. They recycle and upcycle materials without compromising on quality. All materials have been carefully considered with a focus on the circular economy. Anno Studio only uses FSC–certified wood; they use residual wood when possible.
