BassamFellows

BassamFellows took part in the second edition of DESIGN / DIALOGUE, an exhibition curated by the team behind Ark Journal in collaboration with stylist Pernille Vest. The exhibition aimed to highlight high-quality design and present new works in an environment that felt both inspiring and contextually relevant. With a focus on craftsmanship, interior design, object design, and the decorative arts, DESIGN / DIALOGUE continues to champion thoughtful, cross-disciplinary perspectives within the global design community.

For the occasion, BassamFellows created a custom glass pavilion to house its installation, positioned just outside the entrance of Pakhus 11. The structure served not only as an architectural statement but also as a refined expression of the brand’s commitment to materiality, proportion, and quiet innovation. Through this purpose-built setting, BassamFellows offered visitors an immersive experience that underscored its design philosophy—where precision craftsmanship and architectural sensitivity meet to elevate the everyday.

BD Barcelona

BD Barcelona Design unveiled two new collections as part of the inaugural edition of OTHER CIRCLE—a curated platform dedicated to the intersection of contemporary design, architecture, and culture. This exclusive preview brought together acclaimed international studios Snøhetta, Office KGDVS, and Muller Van Severen, marking a bold moment of creative exchange and experimentation within the design calendar.

BD introduced SEQUENCE, a sculptural shelving system developed by Snøhetta that functions as an architectural tool to define and shape interior spaces. Alongside it, RASTERS—a series of modular cabinets and paravents designed collaboratively by Office KGDVS and Muller Van Severen—offered a flexible and expressive approach to spatial organisation. Together, the collections underscored BD’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of furniture as a medium for spatial storytelling.

e15

e15 took part in DESIGN / DIALOGUE, a curated exhibition by Ark Journal in collaboration with stylist Pernille Vest, held at the inspiring Pakhus 11 in Copenhagen. The presentation highlighted e15’s commitment to enduring design and material integrity, showcasing the ALDE seating collection by Danish architect David Thulstrup and the sculptural Kaname table family by Philipp Mainzer. Originally developed for Copenhagen’s Michelin-starred Alouette restaurant, Alde was presented in a full range—Armchair, Side Chair, Lounger, and Swivel Club Chair—each piece combining refined forms with generous, upholstered comfort in finishes including natural oak, chocolate brown and dark brown stain.

Alongside Alde, e15 exhibited Kaname, a table collection named after the Japanese word for "pivot," reflecting its role as a unifying centrepiece within a space. Crafted from solid European oak or walnut, the tables featured sculptural, intersecting bases and were available in round, oval, rectangular, and coffee table versions. The brand also revealed the latest evolution of the Kerman modular sofa by Farah Ebrahimi and Philipp Mainzer—now including angled modules to support more expressive layouts. With textile works by Anni Albers enriching the setting, e15’s presence at 3daysofdesign offered a compelling narrative of craftsmanship, clarity, and flexibility in contemporary living.

Flos

Flos presented its latest lighting innovations across two venues in Copenhagen: the Flos Scandinavia showroom and a temporary exhibition at the Martin Asbaek Gallery. The gallery hosted the Scandinavian debut of six new Decorative collections, previously unveiled at Salone del Mobile in Milan. This special showcase featured works by renowned designers, highlighting Flos’ continued exploration of materiality, modularity, and poetic form in lighting.

Among the highlights were Maap by Erwan Bouroullec, a hand-shaped wall lamp with a magnetic mounting system that turns surfaces into glowing compositions, and Luce Sferica and Luce Cilindrica by Ronan Bouroullec, which combine blown-glass forms with refined aluminium bases to create atmospheric, sculptural arrangements. Linked by Michael Anastassiades introduced a chain of luminous glass links, offering endless configurations that blur the line between lighting and art. Each piece reflects Flos’ commitment to pushing the boundaries of decorative lighting through thoughtful design and sensory experience.

Muuto

Muuto transformed its Copenhagen headquarters into a multi-level experience of contemporary Scandinavian design. From the calm, residential third-floor showroom showcasing upcoming launches like the Pair Candleholder and Beam Wall Lamp, to the dynamic, modular fourth-floor spaces featuring the Connect Sofa and Linear System, each floor reflected Muuto’s belief in design that’s both approachable and enduring. Outside, the hidden courtyard became a lively gathering place, anchored by the Linear Steel Series and the upcoming Dream View Bench by Lise Vester, while panel talks explored forward-thinking themes such as material innovation and biophilic design.

Stellar Works

Stellar Works unveiled Omotenashi—an immersive brand experience that signals a strategic refocus on hospitality-centred design. Presented within the historic Odd Fellow Palace as part of the FRAMING exhibition, the showcase highlights a new creative direction that deepens the brand’s East-meets-West philosophy. Curated by Tony Chambers, the experience introduces a refined visual identity and a renewed commitment to craftsmanship, care, and cultural storytelling. Featuring both new and iconic pieces, Omotenashi embodies the Japanese ethos of thoughtful hospitality while marking Stellar Works’ ambition to become the leading furniture brand for global high-end hospitality projects.

The exhibition transforms two rooms of the palace into immersive environments: The Sake Bar Lounge by Space Copenhagen, celebrating 20 years of collaboration, and the Sakura Lounge featuring new designs by Yabu Pushelberg, Alessandro Munge, and Layan. These spaces, inspired by Japanese rituals and natural materials, reinforce Stellar Works’ design-led approach grounded in cultural nuance and collaboration. Alongside this creative evolution, the brand advances its sustainability agenda through a partnership with YKK Group, incorporating recycled materials into its offering. With Omotenashi, Stellar Works signals a new era defined by intentional living, enduring craft, and hospitality as a design philosophy.

Tom Dixon

Tom Dixon introduced The Shop a pop-up microstore in the centre of Copenhagen that playfully embraced the brand’s British heritage while signalling its continued global expansion. Referencing Napoleon’s famous remark about Britain being “a nation of shopkeepers,” Dixon leaned into the idea with a compact, temporary boutique designed to be both accessible and impactful. The Copenhagen edition marked the first in a series of identical stores also set to open in New York, Sydney, and Taipei, each reflecting the brand’s strategic move toward more intimate, high-touch retail experiences.

Walter Knoll

At 3daysofdesign 2025, German brand Walter Knoll made its debut in Copenhagen, a city celebrated for its blend of innovation and understated elegance. The brand’s presentation paid tribute to its long-standing commitment to craftsmanship, bold yet refined design, and a future shaped by heritage. Set within a considered environment, Walter Knoll’s display balanced tradition with modernity, using fresh colours and a distilled design language to express its vision for what endures and what evolves.

Each piece on show reflected the brand’s meticulous attention to materiality and form, crafted with precision to convey lasting value. From residential to commercial contexts, the collection told a unified story of quality and timelessness. With deep roots in design history and an eye toward the future, Walter Knoll reaffirmed its position as a leader in creating furniture that is not only made to last but designed to inspire.
