Based in Stoke-on-Trent, 1882 Ltd. was founded in 2011 by fifth generation ceramics family, Emily Johnson and her father Christopher, as a design-driven ceramics company focused on a progressive, innovative and dynamic ethos that marries traditional skills with contemporary thought and silhouette. Producing essential objects and limited edition pieces, 1882 Ltd highlights the centuries of industrial heritage craft expertise that resides in the heart of the British ceramics industry, Stoke-on-Trent. Collaborating with creative visionaries such as Shona Heath, Max Lamb, Bruce McLean and John Pawson, 1882 Ltd. successfully manages to bridge the gap between contemporary works of art, and functional, design driven products made for everyday use.
For their debut at 3daysofdesign 2024, 1882 Ltd will be showing for the first time their latest collaboration with British furniture designer, Max Lamb - Crockery Pink - a full, open edition collection of tableware and limited edition Big Vase. Building on many years of successful collaboration, Crockery Pink Big Vase will form part of 1882 Ltd's Icon Collection, a body of work that encompasses the impossible, the oversized, the complex and the unique, imagined and made in collaboration with the art and design world’s most respected and renowned designers and studios. Crockery Pink reimagines the rough, hewn texture of the Crockery collections with bold colours, contrasting the functionality with vibrancy and joy.
3daysofdesign is an exclusive event that's inclusive of everyone.

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.
