Astep is a young, contemporary design company with a rich legacy. Founded in 2014 by Alessandro Sarfatti with the vision of creating and curating timeless design objects with an innovative approach and environmental awareness. Astep offers thoughtful, long-lasting and carefully crafted lighting for home interiors, offices and design spaces alike. Based in Copenhagen and produced in Italy, Astep draws heavily on the Italian design legacy of the Sarfatti family and continuously strive to remain curious and evolving.

Zanat is a design-oriented manufacturing company built on the foundations of a UNESCO world heritage woodcarving tradition and a century old family business renown for making heirloom-quality, hand-carved furniture and decorative objects.  The fourth-generation heirs to the family business, brothers Orhan and Adem Niksic, initiated collaborations with globally renowned designers to develop an impressive collection of award-winning contemporary furniture and accessories.  They envisaged Zanat as a vehicle to promote a new approach in design and production: one that emphasizes craftsmanship and shows how traditional techniques can enrich and open new possibilities for design while contributing to the preservation of cultural heritage.

Marie Graff is the owner and creative soul behind the Danish design company Kodanska. Kodanska – translating to ’Copenhagen Street’ from Czech to Danish – is the name of the street in the heart of Prague where Marie lived with her family for four years. Inspired by her life in Prague and her roots back in Denmark, Marie chose the name ’Kodanska’ as a good way to tell her personal story. This is the core stone of all Kodanska design as it hides small personal stories, that makes the designs unique and gives it a very special meaning. Marie focus on shapes, colours, the quality of the process of handmade work and the aesthetics of the final result. Discover and enjoy their unique handmade collections.

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.

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.

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.
