Spacon & X 'The Junction'
Refshalevej 173A

3daysofdesign has decided to co-create a 30m long table named ‘The Junction’ in collaboration with the Copenhagen studio Spacon & X. The idea behind the circular long table is to rethink the classic bench and table set up, and challenge the way that we meet and interact with one another in a public space, I think this will be a great place to hang out and connect with locals and some of the creative minds behind the many exhibitions in the area.

What's the story behind 3daysofdesign?

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.
