Our 5 Criteria
Our ambition with 3daysofdesign is to create a dynamic and inspiring festival, where each exhibitor contributes a unique voice and perspective. While we are passionate about protecting originality and preserving design heritage, we encourage original ideas, experimental thinking, and innovative initiatives.
In keeping with our own desire for a more sustainable world, it is a key criteria that participants incorporate CSR and sustainability into the DNA of their companies and exhibitions. Taking steps towards a more sustainable future involves taking environmental responsibility, addressing social issues, prioritising fair working conditions, being accountable for your production and distribution, and contributing meaningfully to diverse and equitable communities. We may ask for documentation to assess your commitment to social and sustainable design practices, as well as the sustainable, inclusive and accessible nature of your exhibitions.
To create a unique festival experience, exhibitors are expected to actively participate in 3daysofdesign, and to create distinctive exhibitions and activities during the festival. For example, hosting talks with designers, creating immersive experiences, curated installations, conceptual design presentations, and the like. We want to offer visitors from around the world new experiences and inspiring stories unique to 3daysofdesign. To create a seamless journey for guests, we ask you to please ensure that there is easy access to your exhibition, and that you use the way-finding materials that we will provide.
The primary focus of our festival is on furniture and interior design. Therefore, designers, architects and brands who would like to exhibit during 3daysofdesign must have a connection with the interior design sector, and your exhibition needs to be relevant for the furniture and interior design world.
The festival requires exhibitors to understand that the Category Fee is based entirely on each company’s gross margin. In order to be inclusive of design practices of all sizes, and to ensure that everyone is able to participate equally, our exhibitor Category Fees are based on a sliding scale. We have a tiered model comprised of six different fees, depending on the gross margin of your company. That way, start-ups, major players and brands in between all have the chance to exhibit at our festival, and everyone receives the same comprehensive support.

to welcoming you back

Where the press, content creators, 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 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.
