ARNE AKSEL x e-Types
ARNE AKSEL and e-Types met during last year’s 3daysofdesign and instantly struck up a connection. Through a mutual love and respect of bold graphics, colour and most importantly – words, they decided to commemorate the meeting by mixing their two worlds for this year’s festival. e-Types is Copenhagen based brand agency that has been crafting bold, beautiful brands all over the world, through a dedication to details and timeless aesthetics, e-Types pushes the boundaries of design whilst maintaining a sense of heritage and quality. ARNE AKSEL is a curtain design company based in Copenhagen, established with a mission to revolutionise daily interaction with textiles.
As an ode to this year’s 3daysofdesign's theme, DARE TO DREAM, ARNE AKSEL and e-Types are collaborating to inspire. By mixing ARNE AKSEL’s love of colour, and e-Types love of type, they will create a fabric universe that provokes and encourages – that mixes seemingly random words to create messages that, just might, kick start a dream. A word for a word, they will drape the streets of Copenhagen collecting and exchanging words on the way – as well inviting you all to explore, mix and discover them in their space on Værnedamsvej.

3daysofdesign is an exclusive event that's inclusive of everyone. Where the press, bloggers, buyers, designers, architects and design enthusiasts, as well as the general public, are invited to experience new concepts from our curated selection of brands from Denmark and elsewhere around the world.
Contact UsSince 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.
Each year since its inception, 3daysofdesign has grown in popularity exponentially. In 2023, over 250 brands exhibited at the festival, where visitors could choose from as many as 500 events to attend in various design districts across Copenhagen, such as design talks, networking events, etc.
3daysofdesign takes place every year in Copenhagen mainly during the second week of June from Wednesday to Friday. In 2025 the festival will be held from 4 - 6 June.
