Under the theme “Where would we be without you”, the 2023 edition of 3DaysofDesign, which took place in the Danish capital from June 7-9, was a clear success. One of its largest events ever, the festival celebrated its 10th anniversary this year with a growing number of established brands but also emerging talents, reaching a total of around 280 exhibitors. Visitors had the opportunity to explore 13 different design districts throughout the city, each with its own character and showcasing creative exhibitions and products. Here are the trends we noticed and the products we fell in love with.

A COLLABORATIVE SPIRIT

This edition reflected many initiatives uniting several brands and designers. By joining forces, these creative minds explored new grounds and brought innovative pieces to life.

VAARNII AT TABLEAU

Merging two universes, this show blended the strong sculptural quality of Tableau that blurs the lines between functional art and design with the brutal yet sophisticated objects made in Finnish pine by Vaarnii — a surprising mix with an avant-garde essence.

HOUSE OF NORDIC DESIGN

Gathering up-and-coming Danish designers and artists such as Kibun Project, St. Leo and Sia Hurtigkarl, House of Nordic Design — founded by Natalia Sanchez — wants to push smaller brands forward through its online platform and create a true community of new talents.
