to welcoming you
At Copenhagen’s 3daysofdesign it feels as if you’re never more than one minute away from your next dose of inspiration. As in the paroles in the Bob Marley classic, ‘the sun was shining, the weather was sweet’, and thanks to ARCHITONIC’s soirée at the vibrant Dandy, I re-discovered my dancing feet!

The first 3 Days of Design took place exactly ten years ago. Since then, the design event has continued to develop. It won't be long before she meets the important Salone de Mobile at eye level.

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.
