Bretz
Bretz combines two seemingly opposing yet fundamental desires in life: on one hand, its creations take you on fantastic journeys filled with adventure and freedom; on the other hand, they envelop you, providing a sense of safety and security. This vision comes to life in the brand’s workshop, where Bretz boldly pushes forward with a pioneering spirit, while also drawing on over a century of German upholstery tradition. Born from a passion for the unexpected and refined by sophisticated production techniques, Bretz creates exceptional modular and multifunctional designs. Only when a sofa, bed, armchair, or accessory has been perfected down to the finest detail will it meet the brand’s exacting standards.
With its colourful maximalism and joyful design, Bretz adds a vibrant splash of vibrancy to the festival. Bretz opens the doors to its showroom in the centre of Copenhagen, to celebrate its 130th anniversary at 3daysofdesign, and invites you to be part of this special journey! Bretz will showcase the very new 'Manyara' collection, as well as iconic classics that have shaped the brand's history. Look forward to an inspiring design talk on new work concepts: "How do we bring more joy into the home and work environment, and what role does furniture play in this?" — and to a very special opening opera performance.
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.
