From captivating showrooms to design-minded dining, Mason Feehan, Head of Marketing at luxury textile studio Baya, shares a visual diary from his recent trip to Copenhagen for 3 Days of Design — the city’s renowned annual festival celebrating cutting-edge interiors, craftsmanship, and sustainable design thinking. Together with Baya designer Hannah Middleton, Feehan explored some of the week’s most talked-about exhibitions, drawing inspiration for the brand’s considered, contemporary approach to home.
Day 01.
Design Districts: Rosengard
Day one was all about the Rosengard District, with a small excursion into Kongens Nytorv. Normann Copenhagen’s showroom was the most striking of the 3 days, with &Traditions listening room taking out my favourite space. Bar Vitrines’ salsa and corn chips did not disappoint, nor did their Frama laden fit-out.
Day 02.
Design Districts: Holmen, Kongens Nytorv, Frederiksstaden
Day two was our busiest in terms of showrooms visited. The day started trialing some of Copenhagen’s best pastries at Buka, followed by 20k steps across three design districts. Tekla’s exhibit was a masterclass in making a moment of a restrained product release, and Helle Mardahl’s studio of glass was incredible – the airBNB we stayed at in Nørrebro was full of her beautiful designs too.
Day 03.
Design Districts: Amerikakaj, Nordhavn, Kongens Nytorv
Day three kicked off with a long line for Juno’s pastries and a classic Danish cheese and butter roll, followed by an easy stroll to the Nordhavn district. Kvadrat’s collaboration with swiss-design stalwart Vitra was fun, and I loved seeing Time & Style’s wooden cantilever chair, which a product designer at Baya had highlighted from his visit to Milan. We stumbled across Silberbauers bistro, and seeing that it had received a Michelin Bib Gourmand and was also followed by my favourite Auckland restaurant’s head chef, we indulged.
