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.

Kasper Kyster chases the unknown. He seeks to test his intuition and experiment with materials and principles to achieve something spontaneous. His motivation is largely about the process of creating, about producing and chasing the unique rather than the perfect.

Based on topics such as statics, tectonics, form and function, he works uncompromisingly towards one concept that can become a piece of furniture or object. The limitation means that his work appears spontaneous and intuitive. Kyster puts materials and craft above everything else. He is curious about how you can experiment with old crafts to give materials new aesthetics, and how modern technologies can redefine crafts' impact on aesthetics.

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.
