Iittala’s design story began in 1881 and continues to thrive at the glass factory in Iittala village, Finland. With a deep commitment to craftsmanship, Iittala is a pioneer of avant–garde design in coloured glass and ceramics. Every piece created is more than an object—it reflects the skill, artistry, and experimental spirit of those who shaped it, preserving tradition while shaping the future of design.

To celebrate 90 years of the Aalto vase, Iittala presents the Aalto 90 Pavilion at the public square in Ofelia Plads. Shaped after Alvar Aalto’s celebrated design, the pavilion invites visitors to step inside the form itself and experience an immersive soundscape created especially for the occasion. Within the pavilion, Iittala unveils its exclusive Aalto City Vases, presented as part of the spatial experience. The pavilion is a place for encounters, reflection, and sensory immersion—bringing together past, present, and future through one of the most enduring symbols of design during 3daysofdesign.

The world needs change—more sustainability, stronger communities, and a better life for all. That’s why design isn’t just about creating something new; it’s also about improving what already is there, making it more beautiful, functional, playful, and appealing. It’s about listening to people’s needs and involving them in creating future solutions. At Kolding School of Design, creative people from all over the world come together to do just that—through craftsmanship, artistic expression, and research. The teaching is based on practical experience, the latest knowledge, and close collaboration with the outside world.

prado believes a home should become a place where functionality disappears and only the experience of the space remains. prado provides advanced solutions for home technology such as light and ventilation, quietly disappearing into architecture to bring calm to the spaces we live in. Founded in 2020, prado removes the visual noise from living spaces, leaving only what matters. The laboratory brings together prado's four maisons, united by the belief that the future of homes is not defined by more technology, but by better integration. Vervloet has been mastering the craft of architectural hardware since 1905. Atelier Luxus brings the same standard to switches and sockets, while rond extends the prado philosophy to the wall itself.

Botané is building a new category at the intersection of interior design, sustainability and modern aesthetics. Created to bring botanical design into everyday spaces, Botané offers a lasting alternative to perishability, designed to remain rather than disappear. Approached as an interior discipline, botanical design is treated with the same intention as furniture, objects and architectural elements. Each composition is shaped through proportion, texture and spatial balance, becoming part of how a space is experienced rather than something that fades from it. More than decoration, botanical design shapes atmosphere; calm, coherent and enduring.
