It's taken me a while to get through all my highlights from Copenhagen's recent 3 Days of Design festival as there was just so much to see this year, but it's now time for my final round-up. In this post, I'm focusing on four of the quintessential Danish brands - brands that bridge past and present by offering timeless mid-century modern design and reissued classics . . .
Highlights of 3 Days of Design 2024 | The best of the rest – part 1
I've already shared a detailed look at some of my top picks from this year's 3 Days of Design, and today I'm turning my attention to the other exhibitions that caught my eye. They were a little smaller or more conceptual than the ones I've featured so far, so I didn't take enough photos to turn them into posts of their own, but they were no less interesting for it . . .
Highlights of 3 Days of Design 2024 | John Pawson’s minimalist Dinesen Apartment
I have another highlight from 3 Days of Design to share with you today - a new addition to wood and flooring specialist Dinesen's Copenhagen showroom, created to resemble a real-life apartment. Designed by the British architect John Pawson, who has been collaborating with Dinesen for over 30 years, it's a wonderfully minimalist space that bathes you in a sense of calm . . .
Vipp Salaca River – a rustic Latvian log cabin with a minimalist Scandinavian interior
Over the last few years Danish brand Vipp has been steadily expanding its collection of bookable guest accommodation and the latest to be unveiled is a beautifully renovated log cabin in rural Latvia. One of the reasons why I'm so enchanted by the look of Vipp's guesthouses - and why I normally cover their launch here - is their clear sense of place . . .
Highlights of 3 Days of Design 2024 | Enter the Salon
I have yet another inspiring exhibition from Copenhagen's 3 Days of Design to share with you today: 'Enter the Salon'. A showcase of the magic that can happen when contemporary design and traditional craftsmanship combine, it brought together seven different brands and studios from around the world within the walls of private members' club The Conary . . .
Highlights of 3 Days of Design 2024 | A chat with Sofie Refer of Nuura

It was founded by designer Sofie Refer . . .
Highlights from 3 Days of Design 2024 | A new home for New Works
Today I have another highlight from this year's 3 Days of Design - the new showroom of New Works, which has long been one of my favourite Danish brands and whose pieces appear in numerous places around my own home. The just-opened space occupies the second floor of Bernstorff Palæ, overlooking the famous Marmorkirken ('Marble Church') in the heart of Copenhagen's Frederiksstaden district . . .
Highlights from 3 Days of Design 2024 | The Ask og Eng apartment
One of the things I enjoy most about Copenhagen's annual '3 Days of Design' is the chance to peek inside spaces that aren't normally accessible to the public. There are open showrooms, innovative installations and exhibitions in unusual places, but my favourites are always the real-life homes. And my first highlight from this year's festival is an example of just that . . .
A stay at Hotel Sct Thomas in Copenhagen
[Advertisement - this post is based on a press stay, but all words and opinions are my own] I spent last week in Denmark enjoying 3 Days of Design - Copenhagen's annual design festival, which sees hundreds of open showrooms, exhibitions, talks and workshops taking place around the city. It's one of my favourite events of the year, and I always come back brimming with ideas and inspiration. . . .
Six ways to use cool metallics in your home
Cool-toned metals such as stainless steel, chrome, nickel and aluminium are definitely having a moment. Now I'm not one to follow trends, and I firmly believe in investing in homeware that will stand the test of time - but despite their current popularity, I think cool metallics fit into that category. In fact they've been a favourite of designers for decades . . .
