Danish Art Workshops contributes to the field of art and design in Denmark by offering professionals a unique platform for artistic development and production. Across its many specially equipped workshops, professional artists and designers can apply for residency to develop ideas and produce large–scale and complex works, supported by guidance and expertise from skilled professionals. This is where much contemporary art and design takes root, and where new talents within the art and design scene are nurtured.

Selected Projects is an exhibition platform in the largest production residency of Denmark. For 3daysofdesign, the old warehouse transforms into a showroom for projects, developed in the workshops. The displayed projects range widely in expression, materials, and artisanship. All are of the highest artistic quality, carefully selected for their originality, materiality, and sustainability. The exhibition design is a collaboration with agents from the design world, carefully selected every year. For 2026 the exhibition design is made by the Danish Architect duo, Mentze Ottenstein, who handpicked 13 exhibitors with a profound sensibility for natural materials, craft and tactility in one total installation.

For more than 55 years, FRANDSEN has worked with light and lighting, and this is still a cornerstone in the heritage. Under the headline ‘In celebration of light’ FRANDSEN's goal is simple: unfold the many functions of good lighting—be it visual, social or sensual, to enrich people’s everyday lives. Through ambitious collaborations with international designers, FRANDSEN aims to further explore the interplay between light, material, and form. A lamp might still be a lamp, but FRANDSEN will perpetually push the boundaries of what’s possible, creating lighting solutions both functional and yet aesthetically pleasing.

Pairing international designers with craftspeople from Iberia and beyond, the brand develops contemporary furniture, lighting, textiles, and collectible objects that celebrate regional craft traditions. Each piece is shaped as much by the hands that make it as by the concept behind it, a process that values collaborative contemplation, material honesty, and the irreplaceable knowledge held by skilled craftspeople. Origin Made’s showcase at 3daysofdesign is supported by the DesignSingapore Council.

Vibeke Fonnesberg Schmidt creates exclusive bespoke lighting pieces. Working with plexiglass and brass, she develops lamps shaped by a close dialogue between colour, transparency, and form. Layered hues and shifting light create depth and visual presence, while patinated brass adds a warmer, tactile tone. Each lamp is a sculptural object that brings a composed architectural presence to a space. She also creates larger installations by grouping multiple lamps. Vibeke Fonnesberg Schmidt collaborates with Nilufar Gallery in Milan and designs for Gubi.
