3daysofdesign X Bruun Rasmussen

New approaches to Danish design, a robot creating lamps and the design pioneer Tom Dixon playing bass – we have some fantastic design events lined up at Bredgade 33 in Copenhagen when we invite everyone inside our auction house during the "3daysofdesign" festival.


The annual festival "3daysofdesign" attracts design enthusiasts from all over the world. This year the festival will take place at galleries and design shops all over Copenhagen from 7-9 June. With a series of talks and events, we have planned an extraordinary programme with the industry's leading design specialist Peter Kjelgaard and the legendary British designer Tom Dixon as hosts throughout.

Peter Kjelgaard will give the opening remarks on “Danish Living – Design in Transition”. Tom Dixon will then present his thoughts on the creative process behind the “BIRD Eelgrass Chaise” chair, which will be part of this Summer’s Live Auction.
