Founded and based in Copenhagen in 2023, Blēo is a colour and surface house informed by contemporary culture, philosophy, and research. Blēo wants to pioneer a new and conceptual approach to colour, built on an eclectic understanding of arts and science, quality, history and innovation. Blēo takes colour beyond the traditional boundaries of paint, working with an exhaustive list of today's most compelling artists, architects, and designers on distinctive and personal palettes that tells the story of a person, practice, or place. Leveraging the expertise of the finest creative visionaries, each have developed a singular palette, drawing from years of knowledge and study of art, architecture, interior design, light, and more.
Interaction of Color by Josef Albers for Blēo with the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation and ARK Journal. Interaction of Color by Josef Albers for Blēo is a radical collection of paint spanning 29 colours drawn from 6 of Albers’ plates (which he called his paintings). It is the first of its kind, developed in close collaboration with the Foundation and Ambra Medda (AMO, Design Miami). On June 12, you are invited to explore the colours established in Josef Albers' landmark book 'Interaction of Color' - an opportunity to see and interact with his visually distinct colours, in a magnificent space as the Banquet Hall at Designmuseum Denmark.
3daysofdesign is Denmark’s annual design festival, conceived as a platform to showcase and celebrate great design. It’s the opportunity to meet, network and be inspired by designs from local and global talent. The informal atmosphere welcomes people to engage directly with design brands at stunning locations all over Copenhagen.
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.
