I Expected to Love My First 3Days of Design in Copenhagen. But I Could Never Have Anticipated What Would Make It So Great.

If you can believe it, this was my first year attending 3DaysofDesign in Copenhagen, and I went to the fair, now in its 10th year, armed with absurdly high expectations. I knew that just existing in Copenhagen in early June — using Lime bikes to cycle around, drinking natural wine, eating smørrebrød — would set a good baseline for fun. But after my experience at Salone, which I wrote about here, I felt increasingly desperate for Copenhagen to mean something. I told people I was going because, as a chronicler of design fair culture, I felt compelled to see one that had become such a word-of-mouth success. But on a personal level, it’s like I needed Copenhagen to prove to me that design fairs were still worth attending. As hesitant as I am to say this — lest everyone frantically start planning their show next year in Denmark, which is simply not the right move for everyone — Copenhagen actually exceeded my expectations.

This New LA Music HQ Mixes Warm Woods and Cool Metals Like Nothing We’ve Seen

Normally we would say that an office doesn't have any business looking this good. But Ceremony of Roses — whose new offices were designed by Dean Levin of the LA studio 22RE in collaboration with Madeline Denley of Never Far Studios — is the merch and branding arm of Sony Music, and as such has a constant stream of global talents coming through, from Adele to Olivia Rodrigo (whose merch, we would argue, is impeccable.) The office is housed in a former 1950s factory in Culver City, and it bears several signatures we've come to associate with Levin's up-and-coming studio: a 1970s-influenced aesthetic that preferences elements like wall-to-wall carpeting in lush tones, beautifully monolithic metal expanses, and hits of coolly minimalist vintage furniture.
