The "Danish Design Makers" DDM is a non-profit association that wants to strengthen professional Danish designers by inviting them to exhibit prototypes to an international audience in search of manufacturers. So far their main focus has been to create international attention, but since 2022 they have had increasing focus on exhibiting in Denmark and it’s the second show in 3daysofdesign. DDM can look back on 9 years with 49 designers, 98 prototypes and 9 exhibitions in Europe, China and America. Antonio Scaffidi, Thomas Albertsen and Øivind Slaatto started the association in 2014 and the culture they want to create is characterized by values such as openness, trust, cooperation and creativity -And their exhibition "inUNION" is about that.

Pholc is a Swedish lighting brand with a different take on Scandinavian design. The brand has a clear mission – to challenge the expected with every lamp. A mission that requires a constant flow of new ideas, influences, and approaches. In other words, collaboration is at the heart of Pholc. It is even stated in the name. Pholc is a wordplay of Folk, the Swedish name for people. The very essence of the brand is built upon partnering up with creatives who share the will and courage to make strong design statements. It’s all about finding and nurturing relationships where ideas can grow, alter, and evolve. A respectful creative friction pushing the boundaries of what design can be.
