A look back at Denmark’s official design festival celebrating innovation, creativity and great design. Explore our edit of new releases and the latest ideas, materials, and makers shaping contemporary design.
What we saw at this year’s 3daysofdesign
For three days in June, Copenhagen becomes the centre of the design world with its showrooms, galleries, and cultural spaces alive with creativity, innovation and new product launches.
This year’s theme, Make This Moment Matter, was a call to design with purpose, where every decision carries meaning beyond the moment itself.
“Make This Moment Matter is a positive form of empowerment, urging people to create something with a purpose that’s meaningful. As a design community, we have the wherewithal to make a difference. We have each other. It takes courage to create, and I hope Make This Moment Matter gives designers the impetus to be proactive, and to take action without all the answers.”
Signe Byrdal Terenziani, CEO & Managing Director of 3daysofdesign
Here we share new releases and creative brand exhibitions from this year’s festival, capturing new thinking in design straight from Copenhagen.

e15
Part studio, part living space, Magniberg House was the setting for a special installation created by e15 in collaboration with Swedish bedding brand Magniberg, featuring a new iteration of Backenzahn.
Backenzahn
Philipp Mainzer
e15 presented a special installation featuring a new iteration of Backenzahn by Philipp Mainzer in folded stainless steel, celebrating 30 years of the iconic 1996 design. Offered in polished and brushed stainless steel, polished brass-plated, and powder-coated finishes, it carries forward the same distinctive silhouette and sculptural presence of the original.

Muuto
New launches, collectible numbered editions, and immersive spaces explored how Scandinavian design continues to evolve through dialogue, reflection, atmosphere, and human connection.
Brink Chair
Thomas Bentzen
A refined veneer chair made using FSC certified wood developed at the intersection of material efficiency, comfort, and durability. A distinctive bend reinforces the structure while softened edges support the body. The Brink Chair will launch in September.
Coltre Sofa
Studiopepe
Previewed during Milan Design Week and named after the Italian word Coltre, meaning blanket, the Coltre Sofa refers to a soft, padded layer resting gently over a defined surface. Inspired by the softness of a blanket gently settling over a defined structure, bringing together sculptural clarity and inviting comfort. Coltre Sofa will launch in September 2026 and will be available in multiple colours.
Contra Floor Lamp
Jamie Wolfond
A counterbalanced lamp that makes the physics of balance visible, turning movement and equilibrium into part of the user experience. Designed as a striking statement piece, it brings balance, movement, and scale together in a refined composition. The Contra Floor Lamp will launch in September.
Created as part of Muuto’s 20 Years of New Perspectives celebration, two Numbered Edition Designs look ahead to the next chapters of Scandinavian design: pieces shaped by experimentation, craft, and emotional presence, with close attention to how objects are experienced in everyday life.
Close to Heart
Spacon
The chair wears its heart subtly embedded within its structure, where heart-shaped connectors soften the precision of aluminium with a gesture of warmth.
Inner View Object
Lise Vester
Designed as an invitation to pause, the design captures shifting light in layered reflections. Mouth-blown in Murano and finished by hand, each piece carries subtle variations that honour the region’s glassmaking heritage.
“I’ve always been interested in how objects can shift our perspective — how they can make us see a space, and ourselves within it, differently. With this piece, I wanted to take something familiar, like a mirror, and push it slightly out of context. By curving and refining it, it becomes less about reflection as a function and more about perception, something that quietly expands your view and invites a moment of pause.”
