Design Can Dream – Crafting Conscious Solutions

Listen to Ineke Hans as she reflects on how our behaviours drive our passion for design, scarcity as a point of view, and what it means to be a critical designer today.

If you want to know why sustainability designer Ineke Hans thinks a fairy tale about a king who brings an elephant to the land of the blind is important, you better tune in. Just before Ineke was due to take part in our COMMON GROUND Symposium, which focused on crafting conscious design solutions and leading with ESG, she joined our Design Can Dream podcast series talking about her innovative and sustainable approach to furniture and product design. Ineke combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, resulting in functional and unique designs. Ineke is also dedicated to education and curatorial work, influencing the next generation of designers and continuing to push the boundaries of design, making her a true pioneer in the field.


This podcast is part of a special series presented by 3daysofdesign, Design Can and Velux under the name Design Can Dream. This podcast was recorded during 3daysofdesign 2024 on a Seanics boat at the Copenhagen harbour.

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 and Northern Europe.

Each year since its inception, 3daysofdesign has grown in popularity exponentially. In 2024, over 400 brands exhibited at the festival, where over 45.000 visitors could choose from as many as 500 events to attend in various design districts across Copenhagen, such as design talks, product launches, networking, etc.

3daysofdesign takes place every year in Copenhagen mainly in showrooms and galleries during June, Wednesday to Friday. In 2025 the festival will be held from 18 — 20 June 2025.

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. All events are free of charge.
