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.

3daysofdesign is a curated design festival. In order to be eligible to participate as an exhibitor, you have to meet a specific set of criteria. Interested individuals, companies and brands can apply directly online via our application page.

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.

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

‍

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 2024 the festival will be held from 12 - 14 June.
