Entering the Now Symposium — Session 01 — Being Present⁠ Wednesday 10 June⁠ 9:30 — 11:00⁠ ⁠ What becomes possible when we truly exist in the moment?⁠ ⁠ In an era shaped by constant distraction and future-facing thinking, “Being Present“ invites a return to awareness. To show up, fully and consciously. Because it is here, in the now, that old thought patterns loosen their grip, and new perspectives begin to emerge.⁠ ⁠ Part 1 — Featuring Paola Antonelli, Senior Curator of Architecture & Design at MoMA, this talk explores the power of presence as a creative force. One that allows us to see differently, think clearly, and act with intention.⁠ ⁠ Part 2 — Philosopher Vincent F. Hendricks joins part two of the session to encourage us to see differently, think clearly, and act with intention. ⁠ ⁠ 🏷️ Book tickets now: https://lnkd.in/eRzqQsv2

MOMENTS IN A DESIGNER'S LIFE⁠ ⁠ We asked four designers about the moments that matter in their lives. The moments that shape them. The rituals, unexpected inspiration, and everyday details that fuel their creativity. Through a series of personal videos captured from their own perspective, they invite us to see the world through their eyes and experience their stories.⁠ ⁠ Dive into the lives of Maria Bruun, Søren Rose Kjær, Chris Liljenberg Halstrøm and⁠ Linda Korndal — watch here: https://lnkd.in/efNNW5Zz

We are Now Entering the Now⁠ ⁠ While most people are preoccupied by the past or too busy planning the future, the one place they overlook is the present. To experience the power of the present, this summer we’re hosting a 3daysofdesign Symposium called “Entering the Now“. Where we ask questions without quick answers:⁠  ⁠ What is worth designing?⁠ What is worth protecting?⁠ What kind of life are we shaping?⁠ How do we make it matter?⁠ ⁠ Curated by Tey Bannerman and Veronica D'Souza, “Entering the Now“ brings together leading voices from around the world representing a cross-section of disciplines within design, architecture, and art. To explore the how we shape, and are shaped by the present.⁠ ⁠ The Symposium is comprised of five sessions taking place during our 3daysofdesign. Each one focuses on a different facet of our festival theme: Make This Moment Matter. ⁠ ⁠ One shared invitation to pause, question, and participate. Meet Paola Antonelli (@paolantonelli), Yinka Ilori (@yinka_ilori), Alice Rawsthorn (@alice.rawsthorn), Natsai Audrey Chieza (@natsaiaudrey), Anupama Kundoo (@anupama_kundoo)… and many, many more.⁠ ⁠ Join the conversation at 3daysofdesign. And help Make This Moment Matter. Collectively.⁠ ⁠ Celebrating collaboration at the Symposium. As Delta Air Lines (@delta) marks 35 years flying to Copenhagen, they’ll unveil a dedicated “Flow State” lounge with 3daysofdesign at KLUB’s courtyard — a space to pause, connect, and reflect. Plus, Anthropic (@claudeai)will host a free hands-on workshop exploring the intersection of AI, ethics, and design.⁠ ⁠ Book your tickets now. 🎟️

DESIGN FOR HEALING AT HOME 🫂⁠ ⁠ What does it mean to feel safe at home — and what happens when that sense of safety is broken? Architect and designer Anna Liubimova explores how everyday objects can support us in moments of vulnerability, when familiar spaces no longer feel secure.⁠ ⁠ Working at the intersection of design, spatial empowerment, and lived experiences, her projects consider how the things we live with might help restore a sense of comfort, control, and belonging, opening up small but meaningful paths toward healing.⁠ ⁠ 📖 https://lnkd.in/ejqMJP3q 

The creative process typically starts with the classic ‘blank page’. Out of that nothingness and uncertainty comes clarity. Focus. A reason for being. The purpose that propelled you to design something in the first place. Purpose gives direction. It determines your choices. And it will inspire every move you make towards creating not just a design, but something meaningful. ⁠ ⁠ Purpose is a pivotal point in our 2026 theme — Make This Moment Matter.

15 NEW DESIGN AMBASSADORS⁠ ⁠ Reflecting our deep desire for a world that’s more caring and inclusive, we made an open call to find Design Ambassadors who will help bring everyone at 3daysofdesign closer together.⁠ ⁠ Following last year’s success, we searched for the most passionate design enthusiasts from around the world and found an inspiring team who will be available at each of this year’s 8 Design Districts to connect you with exhibitors, guiding you to events, and ensuring the utmost festival experience for everyone. ⁠ In collaboration with Leica Camera Ltd our Design Ambassadors will capture the spirit of 3daysofdesign 📸⁠ https://lnkd.in/eZdWu4ag

FOOD FOR THOUGHT 🍭⁠ ⁠ For Lærke Kløvedal, Danish food critic, author and podcast host of Det Sidste Måltid (The Last Supper), sharing a meal sets the stage for conversations that are more honest and spontaneous than in typical settings.⁠ ⁠ Our interview with Kløvedal dives into how the simple act of dining becomes a collective ritual that encourages intimacy, vulnerability, and reflections on how we live our lives. https://lnkd.in/etNvZPHA
