Material Matters Copenhagen

Material Intelligence at the Heart of 3daysofdesign
18–20 June 2025 | Gammel Dok, Christianshavn

This summer, Material Matters makes its international debut in the Danish capital, joining the city-wide celebration of creativity that is 3daysofdesign. From 18–20 June, we take up residence in the striking Gammel Dok building — home to the Ukraine House in Denmark — to present a curated showcase of material innovation, craftsmanship, and design-led thinking.

Set within the Christianshavn district — a historic area once home to artisans and makers, now a thriving design hub — the Copenhagen edition of our fair invites visitors to explore the power and potential of materials in contemporary design.

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • A curated selection of leading brands, emerging designers, and material pioneers from across Europe and the USA.

  • A unique venue steeped in history, with open-plan exhibition spaces across two characterful floors.

  • An inspiring environment for architects, designers, specifiers, press and the wider creative community to engage with material innovation.

  • A key destination within 3daysofdesign’s Christianshavn District, known for its focus on craft, techniques, and traditions in making.

EXHIBITORS

Material Matters Copenhagen will host a small selection of exhibitors, all aligned with our commitment to material intelligence and design excellence.
