by &TRADITION
For this year’s 3daysofdesign, &Tradition presents Traces—an exhibition that explores the enduring marks of design, craft, and culture. By looking at process, material and making, the brand reflects on how every act of creation carries both legacy and impact, and how designing with a care informs what is inherited and what is left behind. Traces seeks to uncover the common threads that connect classic and contemporary, local and global, past and future. Through exhibitions, new product launches, and community gatherings at Lille Petra Café, Petra Hotel, and &Tradition’s flagship showroom, Traces considers how heritage and originality coexist, how impact guides creative decisions, and the power of authenticity in shaping the future.

Click here for more information and events.
CULT Insights
Look out for Montana’s sophisticated approach to colour pairing and tonal composition throughout the exhibition. While the systems themselves are highly functional, the presentation feels warm, expressive and distinctly human, demonstrating how modular furniture can move beyond practicality into something highly individual and emotionally resonant.
The brand’s exhibitions also stand apart for their architectural clarity. Clean lines, carefully balanced proportions and understated styling allow the richness of colour and materiality to take centre stage without overwhelming the space.

Nanimarquina’s presentations are also notable for their strong artistic sensibility, often blurring the boundaries between design, art and craft. For those interested in materiality and the emotional qualities of interiors, this is one of the festival’s most quietly compelling experiences.

Australian designers Adam Goodrum and Tom Fereday remain key figures within the presentation, bringing a distinctly local design language into conversation with the broader Scandinavian context.

CULT Insights
Nemo Lighting will likely be one of the festival’s more refined and architectural presentations, particularly for those drawn to lighting that sits at the intersection of design, art and modernist history. Look out for the presentation of CUPIDO by Alon Rotman, alongside the brand’s architectled collections that emphasise atmosphere, geometry and the emotional quality of light.
Unlike the more immersive or trend-driven lighting installations across 3daysofdesign, Nemo approaches lighting with a quieter intellectual rigour — focusing on spatial experience, restraint and cultural permanence rather than spectacle. The atmosphere is expected to feel gallery-like and contemplative, reinforcing Nemo’s position as a brand that treats lighting as architectural language rather than decorative accessory.

CIRCLE & PAPA BEAR EXHIBITION
by PP MØBLER

Look out for the live weaving and woodworking demonstrations, where visitors can experience the extraordinary level of handcraft involved in the Circle Chair and Papa Bear Chair.
Unlike more conceptual installations elsewhere during 3daysofdesign, PP Møbler focuses on material honesty, proportion and process - offering a rare opportunity to see how iconic furniture is still produced by hand today.

MESURA DETAILS
for VIPP
At Vipp’s Copenhagen campus, Barcelona–based architecture and design studio Mesura presents their vibrant take on the Vipp guesthouse. Rooted in the celebratory atmosphere of Danish Midsummer, the ephemeral guesthouse unfolds across Vipp’s courtyard and garage as a spatial playhouse - an immersive installation inspired by the simple act of a picnic, where a vibrant plaid fabric is draped across the space and over Vipp’s furniture, shaping a shared landscape for rest, conversation, and play. In doing so, it transforms the guesthouse from a secluded retreat into a more communal, social environment - from guesthouse to playhouse.
Click here for more information and events.
CULT Insights
Look out for the seamless integration between product and architecture throughout the exhibition. Vipp’s presentations are often less focused on individual launches and more concerned with how spaces feel - balancing precision and restraint with warmth and liveability. Kitchens, lighting and furniture are styled with a quiet confidence that reflects the brand’s enduring minimalist philosophy.
The exhibition is also notable for its hospitality-led atmosphere. Much like Vipp’s guesthouse projects and architectural collaborations, the spaces encourage visitors to linger, observe and experience design at a slower pace. For those drawn to refined interiors, material richness and the intersection of architecture and lifestyle, Vipp remains one of the festival’s most sophisticated destinations.

LATITUDE: 55°N MEETS 12°
by Claire Delmar
Claire Delmar curates the first contemporary Australian group exhibition, Latitude: 55°N Meets 12°S. Leading and emerging designers engage with natural light, from the subtle hues of northern skies to the sharp brilliance of summer. Through their work, designers and makers translate light into material and tactile experiences: glass that refracts and reflects, textiles that balance softness and shadow, and surfaces that absorb or scatter light across their forms. By focusing on materiality and object design, the works show that light is never fixed. It shapes how objects are made, how they’re seen, and how they reflect cultural identity across different landscapes.

CHRISTIANSHAVN
Originally established as a merchant town in the 17th century, Christianshavn is known for its historic canals, maritime heritage and strong culture of craftsmanship. Dutch-inspired streets, old warehouses and creative studios give the district a distinctly local character, where history and contemporary design continue to coexist.
FREDERIKSSTADEN
Frederiksstaden is one of Copenhagen’s most elegant and architecturally significant districts, renowned for its Rococo buildings, royal palaces and grand civic spaces. Originally developed in the 18th century, the area remains a showcase of enduring Danish craftsmanship, heritage and refined urban planning.
