David Design embraces individuality and rejects conformity. They challenge the status quo, striving for something beyond the ordinary. Refusing to compromise for over 30 years, they stand firm on that commitment. Founded in 1988 by former pop star and DJ David Carlson in Malmö, David Design emerged during a time when Scandinavian design was undergoing a second wave of global attention. The brand played a vital role in revitalising the spirit of Scandinavian design with a fresh and modern approach. Years later, David Design remains true to its vision. Today, it stands as a well-established international brand, attracting followers seeking iconic, functional, and sustainable furniture and accessories.

During 3dayofdesign – David design will open a pop-up showroom with yesterdays and tomorrow design classics. Come and explore furniture and furnishings that are not temporary. They are created to withstand times and trends. Sustainable materials combined with a design expression that should last, each icon is manufactured to be able to go through generation to generation. Timeless aesthetics and well-thought-out manufacturing ensure that each piece of furniture retains its status for decades. Probably more.
