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.
Uncover Standouts From 3daysofdesign 2025
Artek + Marimekko

Two powerhouse Finnish design brands collaborated for a limited-edition collection transferring Marimekko’s graphic patterns onto Aalto’s birchwood furniture via clever inlay.
After Series by Fritz Hansen

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.
Dream View by Muuto

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.
Smiley by 22 System x India Mahdavi

French architect and designer India Mahdavi’s Oliver custom armchair gets a literal jolt with the addition of Omer Arbel’s 22 System integrated electrical outlets.
Broderie Anglaise by Tekla


Modern Romance was on full display at this year’s fair, especially at the artful exhibition by Copenhagen-based architectural studio Mentze Ottenstein of Danish brand Tekla’s ruffled and rumpled cotton bedding available in three old world-inspired styles (Elodie, Anaïs and Perle) in the Broken White colorway.
02 by Hay thru DWR


Swedish designer Jonas Forsman innovates with a spacious lounge chair (plus matching ottoman) crafted using fewer materials: its tubular steel frame, minimal foam cushion, and shrink-fitted fabric effortlessly cradle the user’s body.
Upglas by Astep




Italian-born, Sweden-based designer Luca Nichetto upcycles discarded fragments of Murano glass—rolled and spread by hand like pizza dough then pressed into molds—to form fresh sculptural lamps in two styles available in green, red, white, and black.
Model 82 by Møller thru DWR

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.
