About 3daysofdesign
3daysofdesign is Denmark’s annual design event. An international hub of innovation showcasing inspiring concepts in lifestyle, lighting, furniture, and interior designs from some of the major players on the Danish design scene.
It’s an exclusive event open to the public. Everyone is invited to visit the vast array of showrooms, exhibitions, pop-up events, workshops, and design talks with previews and upcoming trends on the horizon. At the same time, it’s an opportunity to experience Copenhagen’s vibrant pulse and personality.
From 16.-18. September, Copenhagen pays tribute to what Denmark also stands for - Design. Whether it is the chair that tells the back how well it is designed or the color on the wall with its indirect way of signaling well-being - we are more aware than ever what good design does to us. “During the pandemic, external factors forced us to stay at home. Here, we found out how important it is to surround ourselves with furniture and colors we like. Never have we been painting and decorating as much as we have during this period. But we also found out that things must mean something to us,” director of 3daysofdesign, Signe Byrdal Terenziani says.
For that reason, this year’s festival focused on presence and contemplation. “This year is about closeness and reflection. The themes are creativity, empathy, and good craftsmanship - as illustrated by designer Ilse Crawford, who created this year’s logo. We celebrate the humane design and objects that give us value,” Signe Byrdal Terenziani continues.
More than 200 exhibitors
More than 200 design companies participated this year, marking the highest number to date. They helped transform Copenhagen into a vibrant backdrop for design, where we welcomed everyone to get an insight into what is happening on the Danish design scene right now. 3daysofdesign is the event, where you hear about the designers’ creative processes at the many talks and pop-up events. It’s where you can enrich the senses by letting your hand slide over the processed wood, or you can see how the designers give new life to old materials.
Expanded digital platform
3daysofdesign further expanded its digital platform in 2021 for those who did not have the opportunity to physically participate in the event, making it possible to live-stream several of the interesting talks that happened during the festival.
A unique chance to meet international stars in an intimate setting
During 3daysofdesign, the Argentine-Swiss designer Alfredo Häberli, the British trend guru Ilse Crawford and the Indian architect Anupama Kundoo were the speakers in the conversation series ‘Heart to Heart’, arranged by 3daysofdesign in collaboration with the interior magazine Bo Bedre. In addition, you could hear what the Danish designers Anne Bojsen, Rikke Frost and Kasper Salto and program manager in Velux, Lone Feifer have to say about design today, which happened in an intimate setting at Hotel SKT.
