Bill Amberg Studio
Bill Amberg Studio has existed for over 30 years, and today stands as an industry leader in bespoke leather products, interiors and furniture. Bringing together artisans from the worlds of saddlery, bookbinding and other forms of fine leathercraft, the studio has a mission to explore the aesthetic and material possibilities of leather, while proudly holding their practices to the highest ethical and sustainability standards. Work includes bags and accessories – with the Bill Amberg iconic ‘Rocket Bag’ in the permanent collection at both London’s V&A and New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art - through to timeless bespoke furniture and interiors for private residences, commercial projects and cultural institutions around the globe.
For 3daysofdesign, Bill Amberg Studio will showcase 3 furniture collections crafted using a simple combination of natural materials, leather and wood. Uniquely, the studio has designed a range of furniture for Knepp Estate, renowned for its ground-breaking rewilding project, using materials sourced from the estate - leather from the longhorn cattle which free-roam the land and ash wood from the estate's dieback clearance. A natural progression from the Knepp Collection, the Black Ash Collection is handcrafted from Italian water buffalo and ash trees that have succumbed to dieback. Lastly, the studio will exhibit a collection of Rivet stools - a product of their experiments into leather’s capacities for weight-bearing and structural support.
3daysofdesign is an exclusive event that's inclusive of everyone. Where the press, bloggers, buyers, designers, architects and design enthusiasts, as well as the general public, are invited to experience new concepts from our curated selection of brands from Denmark and elsewhere around the world.
Contact UsSince 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.
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.
