3 Days of Design Copenhagen 2025: Product Design Trends
Published 30 June 2025
With over 500 exhibitors across eight Design Districts, Copenhagen’s 3 Days of Design 2025 (June 18-20) revealed a shift towards sensorial, expressive design where function meets feeling. From scent-enhanced spaces to modular systems and revived icons, brands are forging deeper emotional and practical connections through designs that adapt, invite interaction and engage the senses.

Design enters a new era of sensorial sophistication. From neuroaesthetic principles to scent-enhanced installations, nature and emotion emerged as central pillars of exhibitions and new collections.

A refined sense of practicality felt fittingly Scandinavian, with many brands offering clever solutions for busy lifestyles and flexible set ups for the home, workspace and garden.
Echoing a key trend from Milan Design Week, brands emphasised the enduring appeal of their aesthetics by pushing to create future icons while revisiting archival pieces from decades past. This dual approach celebrates both innovation and legacy, positioning timeless design as a strategic cornerstone for long-term relevance.
Challenging social media’s sterile sameness, brands embraced lived-in beauty, detailed craftsmanship and emotional storytelling. From plinths and broderie anglaise to playful silhouettes and political metaphor, the season’s collections celebrate expression over perfection. Everyday objects become vessels for meaning, memory and delight.
The appetite for angular metal furniture with clean lines and an industrial aura remains strong, as seen in Milan. Brands and independent designers continued to explore innovative forms in sheet metal and to craft textured, somewhat mystical surfaces.
