For more than 20 years, massimo has been creating handmade sustainable rugs for both private homes and public spaces. When choosing materials, superior quality, well-being, and a positive impact on the environment are the standards we follow. That decision to only work with natural and recycled materials, is rooted in our Scandinavian way of living rather than the latest trends.

“We strive to create timeless pieces that will last. We want them to feel current today and, in the years to come. This is why the quality has to be second to none. The choice
of weaving technique, strength of the fibers, eco-friendly materials. And this is where we’re really thriving.” - Chim Scavenius Sonne-Schmidt, massimo’s owner

What's the story behind 3daysofdesign?

It all began in 2013 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.
