3 Days of Design 2026 Opens in Copenhagen with 'Make This Moment Matter' Theme
The 3 Days of Design festival is set to take place in Copenhagen from June 10 to 12, 2026. Established in 2013 with just four brands, the event has now expanded to feature over 400 participants. This year’s theme, ‘Make This Moment Matter,’ was articulated by CEO Signe Byrdal Terenziani as a transition from focusing on 'more' to embracing 'meaningful.' Notable exhibitions include bathing installations at Bread and Butter, cutlery showcased by LA gallery Marta, and playful designs from Georg Jensen. The event will also highlight Danish and Japanese design, including Japanmade Vol I curated by Jens H. Jensen and Kvadrat's 'Three' curtain series by Isa Glink. Additionally, the Danish Architecture Centre will present 'Age of Nature' featuring designers like Studio Coquille, while &Tradition honors Verner Panton’s centenary, and Gubi showcases 'Scenes' at Orientkaj.
