DBT products are designed by Australian designers, developed in–house by the Design By Them team and produced worldwide. The brand’s growing curated collection of furniture, accessories and lighting is characterised by its unique Australian perspective, timeless aesthetic and distinct playfulness. Design By Them products can be seen in offices, universities, restaurants, hotels, libraries, airports and homes worldwide.

Design By Them returns to 3daysofdesign 2026 with a showcase of new and loved Australian designed pieces from their collection. The exhibition invites visitors to explore a curation of design typologies and languages in an array forms.

Confluentia Colorum is a site–specific installation presented by File Under Pop in Marmorkirken. It explores colour not as decoration, but as substance, energy and relation—formed through light yet experienced through the body as vibration, atmosphere and movement. Curated by Josephine Yaa Akuamoa, the work transforms the church into an immersive environment where colour is seen, felt and heard. Through art, craft, scent and sound, it reflects on presence, material awareness and colour’s power to shape emotion, perception and human connection.
