The Royal Danish Academy embodies the transformative potential of design and architecture within its Institute of Architecture and Design. Through the master's programs – Furniture Design, Strategic Design & Entrepreneurship, Spatial Design, and Fashion, Clothing, and Textiles – the institute investigates the intersection of design and architecture, as well as the relationship between human beings, spatiality and materiality. The aim is to develop specific fields, as well as an in-depth understanding of interdisciplinary collaborations. With this ambition, the institute educates designers and architects who appreciate the value of diversity and collaboration and employ their methods, knowledge and skills to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

A collaborative exhibition powered by the students and supported by the Royal Danish Academy. The exhibition showcases projects at the intersection of design and architecture, created by the 2024 master graduates of the Institute of Architecture and Design across its four programs. With a strong focus on material explorations and the investigations behind each graduation project, the exhibition offers an inspirational insight into the journey from concept to creation. The showcase of prototypes, analysis and processes highlights the creative prowess of the freshly graduated designers and architects, bridging their experimental and innovative minds with the established design industry.

Furniture is a concept with a will of its own, conveying a unique expression. The ambition of Källemo is to produce objects that endure over time — aesthetically, artistically, physically, and metaphysically. Sven Lundh, the founder of Källemo in its present form, expressed, "An object shall stand the wear of the eye!" That's where the toughest wear occurs. Källemo collaborates with designers and artists who understand the essence of quality - achievement unaffected by trends, while also possessing the ability to surprise and challenge, contributing their own personal expressions. Källemo places its belief in the precision of cutting-edge technology, but equally values the hand that applies the final personal, magical touch.

During 3daysofdesign, Copenhagen Cabinetmakers' Exhibition will be held in the craftsmens' house, Moltke's Mansion, an impressive Baroque building in city center, owned by the Association of Craftsmen in Copenhagen. The exhibition is displaying unique master pieces by master craftsmen, as well as works from final exams, apprentice pieces and works by more established cabinetmakers. Since 1554, Copenhagen Cabinetmakers' Guild has been a gathering place for both furniture makers and building carpenters. Common for all Guild's members is the interest in noble craftsmanship, and not least the necessity of supporting the professional  educational training.

Since its inception in 2013, Signe Byrdal Terenziani has facilitated the growth of the design community in her role as Managing Director. It all began as a small design event held in an old warehouse in Nordhavn, a harbour area overlooking Copenhagen’s waterfront. Four Danish brands launched the event as a joint initiative: Montana, Erik Jørgensen (now owned by Fredericia Furniture), Anker & Co, and Kvadrat. At that time, Copenhagen lacked a proper design festival, since the previous annual furniture fair at Bella Center closed down some years before.

Today, the 3daysofdesign festival extends to the entire city of Copenhagen and is considered the most significant annual design festival in Scandinavia and Northern Europe.

Each year since its inception, 3daysofdesign has grown in popularity exponentially. In 2024, over 400 brands exhibited at the festival, where over 45.000 visitors could choose from as many as 500 events to attend in various design districts across Copenhagen, such as design talks, product launches, networking, etc.

3daysofdesign takes place every year in Copenhagen mainly in showrooms and galleries during June, Wednesday to Friday. In 2025 the festival will be held from 18 — 20 June 2025.

Pack your bags, book a hotel and come to Copenhagen! 3daysofdesign is open to the general public and everyone is invited to visit the showrooms, exhibitions, workshops and design talks. All events are free of charge.
