David Design embraces individuality and rejects conformity. They challenge the status quo, striving for something beyond the ordinary. Refusing to compromise for over 30 years, they stand firm on that commitment. Founded in 1988 by former pop star and DJ David Carlson in Malmö, David Design emerged during a time when Scandinavian design was undergoing a second wave of global attention. The brand played a vital role in revitalising the spirit of Scandinavian design with a fresh and modern approach. Years later, David Design remains true to its vision. Today, it stands as a well-established international brand, attracting followers seeking iconic, functional, and sustainable furniture and accessories.

During 3dayofdesign – David design will open a pop-up showroom with yesterdays and tomorrow design classics. Come and explore furniture and furnishings that are not temporary. They are created to withstand times and trends. Sustainable materials combined with a design expression that should last, each icon is manufactured to be able to go through generation to generation. Timeless aesthetics and well-thought-out manufacturing ensure that each piece of furniture retains its status for decades. Probably more.

Marie Graff is the owner and creative soul behind the Danish design company Kodanska. Kodanska – translating to ’Copenhagen Street’ from Czech to Danish – is the name of the street in the heart of Prague where Marie lived with her family for four years. Inspired by her life in Prague and her roots back in Denmark, Marie chose the name ’Kodanska’ as a good way to tell her personal story. This is the core stone of all Kodanska design as it hides small personal stories, that makes the designs unique and gives it a very special meaning. Marie focus on shapes, colours, the quality of the process of handmade work and the aesthetics of the final result. Discover and enjoy their unique handmade collections.

Ambientec, a Japanese light design company founded in 2009, envisions creating portable, indestructible lights with integrated LED technology, maintaining comfort and elegance. This philosophy is evident in its designs, each embracing a poetic quality of light that engages in a friendly dialogue with the illuminated space. Even turned off, Ambientec lights add beauty to any environment. 
Originally specializing in protective underwater cases for professional photography equipment, Ambientec's roots contributed expertise in creating portable gear resistant to extreme conditions. This background led to its venture into portable lamp design, exploring new frontiers in lighting for everyday spaces, indoors and outdoors.

Vipp might have begun with a pedal-controlled bin (the only bin that has found a spot in MoMA’s permanent design collection) but over the last 80 years, the Danish brand has grown to include kitchens, furniture, lighting, and accessories. In recent years, Vipp has expanded beyond objects to design and open six hotels as well as two venues in Copenhagen: the Vipp Pencil Factory and Vipp Garage. 

Whether it is developing a bin or a kitchen, creating a furniture line or hosting a hotel or supper club, Vipp always measure the quality of products and concepts on their long-term ability to provide an experience out of the ordinary.

Since 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.

Each year since its inception, 3daysofdesign has grown in popularity exponentially. In 2024, over 400 brands exhibited at the festival, where visitors could choose from as many as 500 events to attend in various design districts across Copenhagen, such as design talks, networking events, etc.

3daysofdesign takes place every year in Copenhagen mainly during the second week of June from Wednesday to Friday. In 2025 the festival will be held from 4 - 6 June.

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.

Please check the programme, which is updated on an ongoing basis, at 3daysofdesign.dk
