PRESS KIT
Welcome to 3daysofdesign in Copenhagen
The initiators behind 3daysofdesign are a handful of companies from Pakhus 48, a warehouse in
the industrial free port of Copenhagen, which feature permanent showrooms of leading design
companies.
3daysofdesign is a design event where more than 40 of the best design companies open their
showrooms, stores and design institutions and invite the visitors inside for amazing experiences
where furniture, lighting and design objects are the focal points.
3daysofdesign gives customers, professionals, buyers and everyone with an interest in design the
chance to participate in events, happenings, product launches, exhibitions and design lectures.
Repeating last year’s success!
Last year 3daysofdesign was a huge success where many design-interested journalists,
customers, buyers and professionals attended.
Joakim Lassen, co-initiators of 3daysofdesign is very excited about the outcome of last year’s
event: “It’s amazing when you experience spontaneous and positive reactions from the visitor,
which was the case with 3daysofdesign last year. We received a multitude of positive comments
from the many visitors that all appreciated the fact that all off Copenhagen was turned into a huge
design-hub. We are very much looking forward to repeating the success of last year. This year the
amount of participating companies has almost doubled and the infrastructure of the city has been
improved and intensified,” says Joakim Lassen.
International focus
Last year 3daysofdesign received a vast amount of international attention. This year many of the
participators are also expecting visits from international buyers and journalists. According to
Michael Anker, owner of anker&co, the reason for the international interest is that 3daysofdesign
has succeeded in turning Copenhagen into one big epicenter of design:
”Our Norwegian and Swedish customers will be visiting during 3daysofdesign. When it comes to
attracting international customers and buyers, the competition is tough. However because
3daysofdesign has managed to incorporate all the beautiful showrooms in Copenhagen as an
active part of the program it means that it is not just a few companies that are inviting the visitors to
join exceptional design experiences- but all of Copenhagen really.”.
Free transportation for everyone
"We have decided to repeat the success of last year by utilizing Copenhagen’s unique waterways
as means of transportation. Visitors are invited to use the 3daysofdesign shuttlebusses or
harbourboats and dock at various points to explore the various showrooms and events”, says
Signe Byrdal Terenziani, curator of 3daysofdesign. Signe continues: “In cooperation with
GamFratesi Design Studio we have created a booklet, which will act as an inspirational guide for
places to visit during our 3daysofdesign events”.

THE VILLAGE by &tradition
Papirøen, Trangravsvej 24
1436 Copenhagen
Like many of &tradition’s ventures this one is moving into a
territory of the unexpected. Instead of being designed like
an archetypal showroom, &tradition has created a small
village of abstract buildings, making the most of the vast
warehouse space it is located in: “It’s like an alphabet of
building types,” says Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen of Norm
Architects, who has created the concept for &tradition.
“They’re all part of the same family but with different
openings and functions.” Some of the pavilions have
permanent functions, one houses a restaurant and another
a reading room or a showroom, but the majority are flexible
spaces, open to change. The idea is that &tradition invites
artists, designers and interior stylists to re-decorate the
spaces every season – this year it is designed in cooperation with All The Way To Paris.

Muuto
Østergade 36-38

muuto.com
In the showroom Muuto's products are combined
with careful design choices to create a comfortable
working environment perfectly in tune with the
company’s identity. The goal of the interior design
team was to create a living breathing home for the
product range in a highly professional workplace:
Establishing an essentially homely Muuto feel, but
without compromising the functionality of a high
paced productive environment. Visitors are given the
chance to see the best practice use of Muuto
products in a real working environment, for example
how a STACKED unit provides an excellent divide
between two work stations. The showroom, the
office space, the canteen, meeting rooms and quiet
rooms are an integral part of a tour around Muuto.
Muuto’s finished headquarter stands out on many
levels. The office and showroom intertwines so that
the random addition of someone’s belongings can
affect the mood, adding more character and
personality to the space.
