The Audo

‍Audo House, Århusgade 130, 2150 Copenhagen

‍District: Konditaget

‍The Audo is an interesting combination of hotel, café, restaurant, store, showroom and office space. The result is warm and inviting, and inspiring for everyone interested in interior design. Audo House will showcase work by MENU, Sørensen Leather, St. Leo, August Sandgren, Brandt Collective, Durup, Geberit and Kolon during the festival.

The courtyard in itself is worth a visit and on the 7th of June during 3daysofdesign there's chilled summer drinks served at a Courtyard Gathering between 16:00 and 18:00.

4th Floor

‍Frederiksgade 1, 4th Floor, 1265 Copenhagen, Denmark

District: Marmorkirken

‍To me the design collective at Frederiksgade 1 is a must visit during 3daysofdesign. The whole building is full of interesting design and creative exhibitions. From the ground floor of the old ATBO store, to the 4th Floor - and everything in between. The Tea Ceremony at New Works on June 8th at 14:00 conducted by IO tea house sounds like a must. ‍

Helle Mardahl Studio

Bredgade 38, 2nd Floor, Copenhagen, Denmark

‍District: Designmuseum Danmark

Last year Helle Mardahl was nominated for best exhibition and I have to say that her exhibition was one of my absolute favorites. She managed to create a fairy tale and a space that felt like you were stepping into another world. Can't wait to see what she has created for this year's festival. ‍

Designmuseum Danmark

Bredgade 68, 1260 Copenhagen

‍District: Designmuseum Danmark

Designmuseum Danmark is Denmark's leading museum of Danish and international design. It recently underwent a thorough renovation that lasted more than two years. The finished result is impressive and definitely worth a visit. You will get a walkthrough of Danish design history in the exhibition 'The Magic of Form' - from Arne Jacobsen’s Series 7 Chair, Verner Panton’s Globe Pendant and Finn Juhl’s Chieftain Chair to artworks by Alexander Calder and Henri Matisse. The museum not only shows historic design, but also exhibitions on contemporary design and the design of the future. The building in itself and courtyard in the center is worth taking notice of.

‍Yoonede

Gammel Mønt 21, 1116 Copenhagen, Denmark

‍District: Rundetårn

Yoonede is a newly formed concept initiated by the three designers Sofie Østerby, Line Øhlenschlæger and Maaria Repo. They each have their own individual approach to process and design and created this new project on a wish to bring creatives together - to learn from each other’s differences and share a common passion for design, art and objects. The project fits perfectly with 3daysofdesign’s theme of connectedness and I can't wait to see the exhibition.

On the last day of the festival, Yoonede invites us to celebrate togetherness from 16:00 to 20:00 and that seems like the perfect way to wrap up the festival.

The Audo

århusgade 130, 2150, copenhagen

As a restaurant, café, concept store, boutique residence, material library, co-working and event space, The Audo is a hybrid, uniting design, work-life, hospitality and community in one. The Audo operates from the belief that knowledge-sharing drives creativity, builds healthier communities and can lead to higher quality work. The house and its name are built upon this philosophy, borrowing from the Latin phrase Ab Uno Disce Omnes, meaning “from one, learn all”.

Helle Mardahl Studio

Bredgade 38, 2nd Floor, 1260 Copenhagen

Helle Mardahl Studio operates at the intersection of art and functionality to create a dreamy universe of richly coloured glass designs of eccentric deviance. A graduate of London’s Central Saint Martins, Helle Mardahl is an artist and designer whose work is marked by a sense of lavishness and extravagance combined with a sense of flamboyance. As a designer, Helle Mardahl is concerned with the beauty of contrasts. Her richly coloured glass designs are alive and natural, fragile yet robust, simple yet ornate.

Designmuseum Danmark

Designmuseum Danmark, Bredgade 68, 1260 Copenhagen

Located in the heart of central Copenhagen, Designmuseum Danmark is Denmark's leading museum of Danish and international design. The museum shows up to eight exhibitions about design history, contemporary design, the design of the future, as well as Danish design icons by Verner Panton, Finn Juhl, Arne Jacobsen and more. The museum communicates quality and craftsmanship, ideas and processes, and breakthroughs within design through its exhibitions, events, and learning activities. Designmuseum Danmark reopened in June 2022 after two years of renovations. Guests can now visit the new museum café for coffee, lunch or dinner, the new museum shop and the museum garden, which is a quiet, green oasis in the middle of the city.

yoonede

gammel mønt 21, 1116 copenhagen, denmark

Yoonede celebrates togetherness through diversity. It is a newly formed exhibition concept initiated by three designers, each with their own individual approach to process and design. The project is built upon a wish to bring creatives together - to learn from each other’s differences and share a common passion for design, art and objects. Yoonede combines a wide range of expertises with the intention of sharing ideas and creating an inclusive experience lifted by multiple shoulders. Yoonede is the pronunciation of the word unity which describes being one in aesthetics, purpose and mind. It is a combination of parts put together for a common perception. Unity [ Yoonede ] is the opposite of being divided."

3daysofdesign is an exclusive event that's inclusive of everyone. Where the press, content creators, buyers, designers, architects and design enthusiasts, as well as the general public, are invited to experience new concepts from our curated selection of brands from Denmark and elsewhere around the world.

What's the story behind 3daysofdesign?

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 and Northern Europe.

‍

How big is 3daysofdesign?

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.

Where and when does the festival take place?

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.
