Devon Liedtke at 3 Days of Design: "Echoes of Space" with Openhouse Magazine

June 2026 | Copenhagen, Denmark

3Days of Design has always served as a major source of inspiration for me, but this year was extra special for our team, as we were finally participating in the event ourselves.

We came to Copenhagen this June as part of "Echoes of Space," an exhibition curated by Henriette Schou for Openhouse Magazine, staged across three floors of The Conary during 3Days of Design.

The show brought together designers, makers, and furniture brands including Expormim, Saba Italia, JOV, Japan Form, and Mike Hausmann around an idea that felt especially resonant: objects don't have a fixed meaning. Their significance is shaped by the spaces they inhabit, the light that falls across them, and the lives lived around them.

Seeing our decorative objects included in that conversation felt especially meaningful.

Being Part of "Echoes of Space"

Henriette wove a selection of artworks through each floor, threading continuity between otherwise distinct spaces. Our pieces sat alongside work by Tina Frey, Stoff Nagel, Kilzi Studio, and others.

Context was at the center of this exhibition. We've always believed that the same object reads differently depending on where it's placed: on a shelf in a small, intimate room versus an open atrium, or beside a sofa someone actually sits on. Echoes of Space wasn't just an exhibition of things, it was an exercise in noticing how your relationship to an object shifts as the space around it does.

Portraits of Self: The Launch Event

On June 11th, during the opening evening at The Conary, we also hosted an activation for Portraits of Self, our other project in collaboration with Openhouse Magazine, on the floor of Saba Italia.

For this event, participants were invited to choose a bouquet of flowers and complete a single prompt:

"There is so much beauty in _______________."

What followed were thoughtful conversations, genuine laughs, moments of introspection, and in them, a real sense of shared humanity.

Thank You

A heartfelt thank you to the teams at Openhouse Magazine, 3Days of Design, and Saba Italia, and to every single one of you who stopped, picked a flower, and filled in that blank. We hope to see you again soon.
