11 Top Picks from 3daysofdesign 2025

Designophiles (plus a fair amount of Looky-lous) descended en masse on Denmark’s capital from June 18-20, 2025 to peep all the latest introductions during the annual 3daysofdesign festival founded in 2013—in fact, over 460 exhibitors were visited by more than 60,000 visitors at this year’s event. Similar to last year, there were many star-studded product launches that brought some color into the city. Traversing the clogged streets and canals of Copenhagen by foot, bike, and GoBoat, here’s what caught our eye.

London-based Cypriot designer Michael Anastassiades envisioned a solid ash chair (and accompanying table) with subtle gestures and clean lines, available in a natural or painted burgundy finish. “There is a lot of clarity in shapes and forms and why they need to be there, they are very considered and geometric, primal in a way,” said the designer.

Signal by Raawii

The jaunty and angular Signal lamp designed by Lausanne, Switzerland-based Panter&Tourron now comes in a new size (hello, medium!) and a fetching colorway dubbed saffron by the Danish brand.

A gestural bench in polished stainless steel (and available in two widths: 60 and 100 cm) by Danish designer Lise Vester invites users to take in the sun and sky, its curves following those of the body in order to promote relaxation and well-being.

Palma by Hem

Configurable, modular poufs by British-born Ghanaian designer Kusheda Mensah invite interaction, play, and human connection (hooray!) courtesy of the collection’s three sculptural forms available in a variety of textiles, including Kvadrat upholstery, squishy boucle, and luxe leather.

The Danish maker founded in 1944 by Niels Otto Møller (and currently run by his granddaughter, CEO Kirsten Møller) links with retailer DWR to reissue an archival design from 1970, a hand-built ladderback dining chair elegantly constructed in German oak or American walnut without the aid of nails or screws.
