3daysofdesign isn’t short of beautiful things to see, so much so that it makes putting these kinds of lists together very difficult, and it’s helpful to apply parameters.

So, while 3daysofdesign grows to become an increasingly international festival (and that is a good thing!), we’ve decided to pay homage to the Danish furniture brands and studios who have made the city what it is – and have pulled together a wish list of new launches that previewed during the festival.

Compass Floor Lamp
Julien Renault x HAY

Julien Renault has been quietly building out the Compass collection from his Brussels studio for some time, and this year, HAY is bringing it to market. It was the handle that stole the show for us. A triangluar pull fixed to the brushed aluminium arm enables you to rotate the base 360 degrees in a very satisfying fashion. The shade also tilts, and the arm extends — which means it can reach over a sofa, a desk, or a dining table without looking like it’s trying too hard.

Hang On Table
Fengfan Yan x +Halle

Fengfan Yang graduated from Stuttgart’s State Academy of Fine Arts and signed a production deal with +Halle in what feels like record time. The Hang On Table is a rethink of the table – it’s not something you can sit at for hours, it’s more of a table to stop-off and stand up at. Made up of an extruded aluminium profile frame, you hang surfaces and add-ons onto it rather than them being fixed in place, so the whole thing can be reconfigured, disassembled, and reassembled without tools. Yes it’s designed more for public and hospitality spaces but we think, with vision, it could work amazingly in the home.

Pewter Flowerpot
Verner Panton x &Tradition

To mark what would have been Verner Panton’s 100th birthday, &Tradition has presented the VP1 Flowerpot in its most pared-back form yet – untreated stainless steel, with a subtly flecked surface produced by a double stone-tumbling process applied to each shade. It is, arguably, the only sensible way to issue a centenary edition of a lamp that has already been made in what seems like every colour imaginable. The edition is constructed without glue, enabling easy disassembly at end of life, and Panton’s signature has been engraved on the underside of every upper shade.

Lotus Lamp
Carlo Nason x Gubi

Carlo Nason designed the Lotus lamp in 1969, and during 3DD, Gubi presented its revival within an installation at the brand’s Nordhavn headquarters as part of its “Scenes” exhibition. The glass lamp had been largely forgotten since its original run — which is precisely the kind of overlooked design history Gubi has built its identity on excavating. The process of creating the overlapping glass modules is painstaking, but makes it all the more impressive.

Magnet Textile
Kvadrat

Also in Nordhavn, Kvadrat showed a new textile by Isa Glink that felt like a very welcome deprature from thick upholsteries and breezy, neutral linens. Named Magnet, the collection was shown suspended from anodised aluminium frames and presented as touchable swatches complete with zips. Magnet kind of seems like the modern version of a net curtain, and comes in colourways like Laser Lime, Sencha Green, Blue Pulse, and Pixel Pink. Hang it as a normal curtain or use it as a room divider. Tbh, we liked it so much we’d even make clothes from it.

Turntable and Lamp
Fritz Hansen x Technics

Fritz Hansen’s Sound Club was the talk of the town during 3DD. Inside, the brand revealed its collaboration with Technics: a special edition of Fritz Hansen’s Kaiser Idell Luxus 6631-T lamp with the Technics SL-40CBT Direct Drive Turntable, both finished in deep burgundy developed exclusively for the project. Fritz Hansen will offer 200 lamps across Europe and Asia; Technics will produce up to 300 turntables, both available from October 2026.

Frankie Chair
Louise Roe

The Frankie Café Chair is available in ash or beech, with a tidy geometry suited to the kind of refined, gently deco hospitality setting that is finding its way back into fashion. Louise Roe presented it not through a conventional exhibition but through a working café installation — furniture introduced through use rather than display. The collection takes its name from brand director Emil Roe’s dog, a Labrador-Bulldog-Staffie cross — which, once you’ve sat in the chair, makes complete sense.

Union Easy Chair
Michael Antrobus x Frama

The Union Series — comprising a chair, easy chair, stool, table, and side table — is built around a new application of semi-circular aluminium profiles, bent and assembled into forms that manage to feel both restrained and comfortable simultaneously. The series was teased in Paris at Matter & Shape in March and officially launched in Copenhagen as part of Frama’s in-store installation. The easy chair is the piece to focus on, though: a lower, broader frame than the dining chair that trades upright posture for something made to linger in — disciplined lines, material restraint, applied to leisure.

Expandable Bed in Cobalt Blue
Moebe

Moebe’s expandable bed has been around long enough to qualify as a quiet classic. Its powder-coated steel frame adjusts from 90cm to 180cm wide, built on the logic that a good bed should outlast the room it’s in. The Cobalt Blue colourway, launched at 3daysofdesign, is the most interesting addition to the range in a while — it makes the bed look like a piece of considered furniture rather than just something that is a clever solution.

Piece of Seating
Kihyun Kim x Muuto

APS — A Piece of Seating — is the winning entry in Muuto’s Design Contest 002 by Seoul-based designer Kihyun Kim: a seating system that starts with a single unit but only fully reveals itself when repeated, shared, and rearranged. The announcement was made as Muuto marked its 20th anniversary, alongside limited-edition pieces by Spacon and Lise Vester. That the winning design is a modular system rather than a single statement object feels right for a brand that has always been more interested in how things work together than how they photograph alone. Plus, the design contest is really something other brands should be taking note of and doing too.
