Embassy of Italy
Cover image missing

The Italian Embassy in Denmark is located in an elegant historic residence in the heart of Copenhagen, reflecting both architectural refinement and diplomatic tradition. The residence has long served as a distinguished setting for fostering relations between Italy and Denmark, symbolizing the enduring cultural and political ties between the two countries. During 3daysofdesign, the Italian Embassy in Denmark, in collaboration with the Italian Danish design studio Rinata Milano, is proud to present a special exhibition hosted within the elegant reception rooms of its residence in Copenhagen, with the participation of selected representatives of Italian design and craftsmanship.

SOLE VINCE – The Italian Table. More than an object, the Italian table is a condition: it is the starting point, shaped by the act of playing, gathering, and staying. It is where food, design, and craftsmanship are transformed into a shared experience. “Sole Vince”, the phrase marking victory at the end of the traditional Game of the Goose, becomes here a quiet symbol of arrival, where the table is both destination and beginning, shaped by the idea of playing as a form of culture, ritual, and return. It is also an invocation of the sun: a source of warmth, energy, and time. Through a curated selection of objects, furnishings, and material expressions, the exhibition traces a living dialogue between tradition and contemporary practice.
