Design at 108 during 3daysofdesign
3daysofdesign is Denmark’s official design festival and one of the key annual meeting points for the international design community. From 10 to 12 June 2026, Copenhagen will once again become a city-wide platform for new ideas, material perspectives, and design experiences. As part of the festival, Danish Industry and Creative Denmark invite visitors to Design at 108, a curated showroom presenting contemporary Danish design at Store Kongensgade 108.
A curated meeting point for Danish design
As 3daysofdesign gathers visitors from around the world, Design at 108 offers an open setting for dialogue, discovery and international exchange in the heart of Copenhagen.
The showroom brings together five Danish brands at Store Kongensgade 108, situated in the historic Frederiksstaden district and directly opposite Designmuseum Danmark. Design at 108 welcomes international visitors, design professionals, press and buyers to experience a curated group exhibition of contemporary Danish design.
The 2026 theme for 3daysofdesign, Make This Moment Matter, calls for a shift from more to meaningful. It asks what makes design relevant beyond form and function, and how the choices we make today can shape the way we live tomorrow.
That question sits naturally within Danish design. Across furniture, lighting, materials, kitchens, heat and lifestyle solutions, the participating brands are each distinguished by a strong identity, a clear vision and a commitment to high-quality design with lasting value.
Danish design holds a strong international position because it connects everyday relevance with long-term thinking. It is shaped by a tradition in which function, quality, and material understanding matter, while responding to the questions that define contemporary living. How do we create homes that last longer? How do materials carry cultural, practical and environmental value? How can design improve the spaces, routines and choices that shape daily life?
At Design at 108, these questions unfold through distinct perspectives. Together, the group showcase reflects a design culture built on craft, usability and a close relationship between people, products and place.

Exhibiting brands
ester & erik is a family-owned company that has been making high-quality candles since 1987. The entire production line is organised around two factors: the quality of the raw materials and the final appearance.
With deep respect for design and acknowledging the urgent need for a circular transformation, FÓLK creates objects and furniture that enable the circularity of materials, expressing how one’s waste can become another’s treasure.
Kvik is a Danish design company built on the idea that good design belongs in everyday life. Since 1983, they have challenged conventions around kitchens, bathrooms, and wardrobes — not by adding more, but by refining what matters.
At Morsø, warmth has been at the heart of everything since 1853. From iconic cast-iron stoves to contemporary outdoor cooking products, durable materials are united with refined design and intuitive usability.
From the historic Norwegian Rose quarry in Northern Norway, Fauske Marble by Moser supplies stone worldwide. The quarry is an IUGS Heritage Stone site, recognised for its geological and cultural significance, and reflects the company’s durable, responsible approach to contemporary architecture and design.
