Copenhagen has long been a breeding ground for decidedly cool design , from fashion to homeware. Last week, creatives descended upon the Danish capital once again for the 3daysofdesign festival – an annual inspiration-filled celebration of the best in Scandinavian and international interior design . Between 12 – 14 June the city was buzzing with highly-anticipated launches and impressive exhibitions from industry icons and emerging talent alike.
After scouring the 2024 showcase, I’ve rounded up some highlights. A mid-century icon that revolutionised storage, String Furniture turns 75 this year. The brand celebrated this milestone at the Swedish Ambassador’s Residence and exhibited a new launch in collaboration with design studio, Form Us With Love – titled “ Center Center ” – alongside its core collections at Odd Fellow Mansion .
Designed for a modern office environment where flexibility is key, the new storage system is made up of many individual modules, allowing for near-endless configuration – in typical String fashion. Helle Mardahl Studio displayed its delectable pastel-coloured glass creations at the brand’s flagship showroom and presented an installation and pop-up shop at Designmuseum Danmark . Both venues saw a sweet shop-like display of tableware, lighting , and objets d’art – all hand-blown in Copenhagen and inspired by nostalgic childhood films such as Alice in Wonderland and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory .
