And we continue our explorations at "3DaysofDesign" in Copenhagen to find out if it's really true the Danes produce their wares sustainably and in their own country.

Daniel Rybakken's approach has been honoured early on with many awards. We spoke to the designer about how chairs are like human bodies, the relationship between art and design and what his father taught him about cars.

"Where Would We Be Without You?" was the motto of this year's 3daysofdesign, Denmark's most important design festival, which took place in Copenhagen from 7 to 9 June 2023. Poorer of many wonderful memories and encounters would be my answer to this question.

At first sight Hamburg’s “The Morgenmuffel” looks like several restaurants all rolled into one. Every room is different, and the various interiors do not seem coordinated with one another. However, on closer inspection a well thought-through overall concept emerges: a culinary adventure that plays out in various rooms.

With its "Simonsson House" on the edge of the Arctic Circle, Swedish architecture and design studio Claesson Koivisto Rune is making a sculptural statement, one influenced by the rigid local building regulations and the Arctic conditions.

Due to the pandemic, the 3daysofdesign took place this year from 15 to 17 June and once again showed how varied Scandinavian design can be. "Remember to Play" was the motto, which Luca Nichetto translated graphically. We have selected ten highlights from the numerous showrooms and exhibition areas.

Inga Sempé is known for her delicate and playful designs. She tells us how diverse her portfolio is and what she has planned for this year.

Studio Ben Allen has painstakingly modernized a terraced Victorian house in London and added an extension to it, one that combines various different styles. “House Recast” recently received the 2021 “Don't Move, Improve” award.

When the buzzing creative team at Snøhetta collaborates with Bronx-based food, design and art collective Ghetto Gastro, it seems something unique is bound to happen. In this case, the culinary cultural space Burnside in Japan's capital Tokyo.

The Office Group, or TOG for short, recently opened "Oper46" – a set of flexible workspaces in the center of Frankfurt/Main. We took a look around.

OOAK architects have designed a holiday home on the island of Karpathos. The building stages the surrounding landscape and with its patios creates complex spatial relationships.

Little by little, the temperatures are getting milder and the dream of balmy summer evenings and relaxing vacation days is within reach. For the right outdoor equipment we have put together a refreshing selection from our Novelties Stage.

Designing the kind of offices that not only satisfy the demands made on modern working environments but also focus on flexibility and coziness – no easy task. For three of its current projects, multidisciplinary design studio Ippolito Fleitz has solved this challenge dynamically and with adventurous colors.
