Have you heard of 3DaysofDesign?
Copenhagen is already known as a design epicenter, and if you’re a product designer like I am, having your work exhibited here is probably on your mood board. 3daysofdesign draws thousands of people from around the world who joyfully celebrate a shared passion for design.
This year, the event took place from June 18–20 across eight design districts: Holmen, Nordhavn, Amerikakaj, Kultur, Rosengård, Kongens Nytorv, Christianshavn, and Frederiksstaden. With over 400 exhibitors and 500+ events, it’s hard to believe how much is packed into just three days. If you’ve never heard of the event—or have always wanted to go—mark your calendar for next year: June 10–12, 2026. Trust me, book the hotel now.
As someone with a little FOMO this year, here are a few standout moments that stuck with me:
To start, there was an exhibition called BREAD AND BUTTER. I was drawn in because Copenhagen has some of the best bread and butter I’ve ever tasted, so I had to laugh at how perfect this pairing was for an exhibit. Just like how bread and butter are a perfect pair, the exhibition explored this idea through dining objects. Designs featured a color palette that reflected bread and butter tones, offering a range of pieces that complemented one another. I especially loved a fruit bowl from Her Ae Office in a soft butter yellow—THE color of the summer.
I want to highlight that some of the brands we carry at Huset were also exhibiting their designs at the festival, including &Tradition, Audo Copenhagen, Ferm Living, and Blomus.
&Tradition, founded in 2010, continues to bring timeless elegance with their most recognizable product: the Flowerpot Lamp, designed by Verner Panton in 1968. I’ve always loved the Flowerpot line for its versatility and the way it elevates any space. The materials feel durable and luxurious—perfect for gifting to the modern design lover in your life. If you ever want a great place to stay in Copenhagen, I recommend the Petra Hotel, a boutique property with 40 rooms curated in collaboration with &Tradition and Copenhagen Design Hotels. The hotel, housed in a restored 1940s building by architect Kay Fisker, blends historic details with sleek modern charm.
Audo Copenhagen made an impact with their event MONUMENTS, a tour through classical history and modernity. Held at their showroom, Audo House, it was an immersive experience. Much like neoclassicism itself, the exhibition reflected how we reinterpret the past through a modern lens and how the objects we design shape the spaces we live in.
Ferm Living debuted their first complete outdoor collection, including the Boya Glasses—which we carry in our store—that cast beautiful colorful reflections when light hits them. Ferm Living always creates calming and engaging environments that feel just right, indoors or out.
Finally, Blomus—a German design brand we’ve just introduced to our shop—showcased a minimalist lamp in bold colors like green, yellow, blue, and red. Their exhibition was full of vibrant pops of color, something I always love to see. We carry their Avocado Vase, where we’ve planted a seed in hopes of growing a tree right in the shop. Who knows—maybe we’ll see fruit in 4–5 years! We also carry their Water Carafe with cork lid, double-walled glasses, sleek stainless-steel watering cans, and minimal wastepaper baskets and tissue holders that complement each other beautifully.
If you ever take the time to visit the 3daysofdesign website or attend in person, you’re guaranteed to walk away inspired. Seeing how both legendary designers and emerging brands bring creativity and intention to everyday objects reminds me of why I love what I do—and what’s coming next. It’s also a sneak peek at the trends we’ll be bringing into our shop in the coming year.
I hope this post leaves you feeling as inspired as I do. Design is in everything we see and touch—from the modern to the timeless—and 3daysofdesign is a festival that brings all of it to life. I may not have made it this year, but one day I will. And maybe I’ll see you there too.
