Danish Architecture Center (DAC) is an international cultural attraction for everyone who wants to experience and understand how architecture and design create the framework for our lives. DAC is located in BLOX by Copenhagen’s inner harbour and part of the city’s Cultural District. Through exhibitions, tours, events, and education, DAC inspires, educates, and engages visitors. Sustainability is at the core of DACs mission, reflected in its status as a certified Green Attraction. Discover the latest trends in architecture and design at DAC Design Shop, where every product is carefully selected with sustainability in mind. DAC Café prioritises organic ingredients, local produce, and animal welfare while actively minimising food waste.

During 3daysofdesign, DAC presents Meet Me Here, an exhibition by Spacon. The installation explores how design and architecture shape our encounters—with each other, ourselves, and our surroundings. In a world where digital connections replace physical presence, Meet Me Here creates a space for real, unexpected moments. The Gallery Stairs at DAC becomes a living installation where movement and interaction shift perspectives. Every action leaves a mark—on spaces, people, and the environment. Meet Me Here invites visitors to rediscover presence and explore how we shape the world around us.

Jan Kath Design has revolutionised the world of rugs. For nearly 30 years, the brand has been shaping the international design scene with its work. While the creative language spans a broad spectrum, production remains deliberately rooted in tradition. Each carpet is crafted using centuries–old hand–knotting techniques in selected workshops in Nepal and India, certified for sustainability by the Swiss label STEP. Knot by knot, skilled artisans translate the designs into textile art. Only premium natural materials are used, including hand–combed Tibetan highland wool, fine Chinese silk, and Nepalese nettle. This balanced material composition gives the rugs a distinctive tactile quality and a deep, layered presence beyond the surface.

Founded in 1985, Santa & Cole is an independent editor of thoughtful design objects, art and books headquartered in Barcelona, Spain. It’s a practice rooted in a discerning eye: choosing pieces with intuitive precision, often created by others, and bringing them to light, sharing them widely, safeguarding authorship and championing their value. With an aesthetic which leans more timeless than futuristic, Santa & Cole favours history over fashion, silence over noise. From spectacle to substance: if objects can be read, it’s because they have something to say. These are slow–cooked products, crafted to last, designed to be passed down through generations.

RARERAW is a modular furniture brand that moves beyond fixed forms, allowing its systems to be flexibly interpreted in the space between structure and sensibility. Rather than viewing furniture as a finished object, RARERAW understands it as a structural unit that shapes space. Each module functions as part of a larger framework that evolves through use, interaction, and context. Designed to respond to changing environments and lifestyles, the system encourages openness rather than prescription. As spaces change, RARERAW adapts—inviting users to reconfigure, reinterpret, and gradually complete the system over time.

Each object seeks simplicity in form while remaining engaging through detail and proportion. Grounded in a strong technical foundation, every design is carefully refined down to its construction and finishing. The story of each object begins with an idea and evolves through sketches and prototypes into a well–considered result. Working exclusively with solid hardwoods, ykoon employs traditional joinery techniques, reflecting a deep respect for craftsmanship. Sustainability, tradition and character come together in objects shaped with care and intention.
