Danish Architecture Center (DAC) is an international cultural attraction for everyone who wants to experience and understand how architecture and design create the framework for our lives. DAC is located in the heart of Copenhagen in the spectacular BLOX building which is situated right at the harbor front and as part of Copenhagen’s Cultural Quarter. Through exhibitions, tours, events, learning and networking, Danish Architecture Center creates space for inspiration, enjoyment and immersion.

The exhibition Teenage Dreams offers a glimpse into the future of teenage bedrooms. Designing for teenagers means designing for a generation whose values will shape our future. The exhibition features a photo art project about teenage bedrooms, videos featuring young people discussing their ideal rooms, and three installations by talented young Danish designers. These installations offer insights into how contemporary challenges impact and alter teenagers' needs and desires for their personal spaces. Featured contributors include Barbara Marstrand, Our Shift, Natural Material Studio, and Krøyersætterlassen.

ARCHITECTMADE is more than a collection. It’s a philosophy. 
They search archives and drawings of the most acclaimed architects of all time, and discover talented architects to create timeless icons that can be passed on for generations. 

ARCHITECTMADE’s products are designed with the precision of an architect and the vision of an artist. 

Their passion extends beyond the realms of form and function, aiming to counteract the throwaway culture by celebrating products that are designed to last. With a rigorous three-stage quality control process and exceptional craftsmanship, ARCHITECTMADE ensures each item is built to endure the test of time.

Lammhults convinces design as a great potential to improve everyday lives and to contribute to more meaningful and sustainable ways of living. The optimistic spirit is a defining characteristic of Lammhults – a vital part of their heritage since 1945. Lammhults develops contemporary design for various kinds of spaces – public spaces, modern offices, and domestic spaces. Inhabited spaces have a strong influence on oneself. Some spaces make you creative, social, and generous. Others enable you to slow down and to reflect. Lammhults believes in the importance of that space. Good design contributes to shape dwellings and surroundings in ways that are relevant both today and tomorrow.

For over 30 years, Desalto has nurtured a concept of aesthetically sophisticated products rooted in continuous technical and technological research aimed at enhanced functionality. With three decades of activity, Desalto stands as both a youthful and time-honoured brand—a dynamic spirit that seamlessly blends iconic seating and complements, resembling graphic forms sketched in the air, with tables as versatile as daily life itself. The narrative began in 1990 when the four Orsenigo brothers, heirs to a family metalworking business, envisioned a company more attuned to contemporary trends. They sought collaboration with designers, fostering diverse perspectives that align with the same corporate philosophy centred on fundamental values of harmony and elegance.

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.
