At Manu, every product has a soul, a vibe, and a personality. The philosophy guiding Manu is that by developing emotional relationships with objects, one will start treating them with the respect, care, and longevity the world needs. That's why Manu's products are not bought or sold - they're adopted. Manu’s first collection explores how waste materials from lemon peels, PET bottles, and cornstarch can be given new life. Through the technology of 3D-printing, one-time-use materials are turned into a lifelong product and companion through a process that flips the unwanted into the wanted.

Step inside the Future of Craft in Manu’s Mobile Factory. Visitors are invited to step inside the Manu-verse populated by Jane, Long John, and their siblings. Learn how Manu transforms unwanted Coke bottles and lemon peels into lifelong companions and products. The on site micro-factory allows visitors to customise their very own lamp whilst the little helpers (3D printers) do the work. Manu promises free beer and good conversation throughout the afternoons during the design festival.

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

You can look forward to seeing cutting-edge concepts from new and established names in lifestyle, design, furniture and interior design. Get a preview of new product launches. Learn about upcoming trends on the horizon. Meet the players behind forward-thinking ideas worth knowing. And network with like-minded people with a passion for design.

It's easy to get around in Copenhagen.
