3 Days of Design 2022

Copenhagen’s 3 Days of Design runs across showrooms and galleries. It is slower than a hall show, which helps you see how pieces behave in rooms.

What keeps coming back

Low glare comfort through opal glass, fabric and shielded sources. Portable living with rechargeables for shelves, tables and terraces. Warm materials that settle a space. Quiet colour that layers without shouting.

Showrooms in brief

&Tradition

Flowerpot stays playful without dating. Formakami paper shades spread warm light over sofas and dining.

DCWéditions

Focus acts like a mobile, crisp pools with a bit of theatre. Mono hangs alone or in clusters with a tactile dimmer.

Ferm Living

Post bases with Entire or Eclipse linen shades feel natural and easy. FSC wood veneers add warmth.

Fritz Hansen

Concert, Kaiser Idell and Clam showed why classics still work when finishes are right.

HAY

Apollo glass gives a soft halo. Anagram nods to the banker’s lamp with a cleaner shell.

Louis Poulsen

PH Artichoke clusters demonstrate layered glare control. Moonsetter adds a sculptural read you can tune by turning the disc.

Muuto

Piton is a practical portable with character. Rime pendants give even diffusion over compact tables.

New Works

Margin’s canvas shades warm a room. Kizu and Tense keep forms calm and cloud like.

Normann Copenhagen

Porta is a neat anywhere portable. Puff builds cloud like paper forms. Coil creates volume with stainless wires.

Notes for projects

Layer a ceiling piece with a couple of portables to fill shadows. Keep sources out of direct sightlines where people sit. Stick to two or three finishes for continuity. Two simple scenes usually cover daily life.

Quick answers

What is 3 Days of Design

A city festival of lighting, furniture and interiors across showrooms and galleries.

Is Scandinavian lighting good for low glare schemes

Yes. Opal, fabric and shielded optics are common and comfortable.

Are portables useful beyond décor

They are. With the right IP rating and a warm CCT they add flexible, low glare layers.
