Welcome to 3 Days of DesignIt’s hard to fathom quite how quickly 3 Days of Design has risen to the top of the industry’s firmament. It started life in 2013 as a modest gathering of four brands in an old warehouse in Nordhavn. We were there, drinking craft beer out of cans, listening to house music surrounded by sofas, wondering if this was the future. Today, upwards of 500 companies, studios and designers from around the world will spill into venues across eight districts in the city.

Received wisdom and thousands of Reddit threads tell us that jet lag is the scourge of the long-distance traveller; something to be mastered with supplements and cashmere eye-masks or beaten with week-long pre-planning and earth-centring magnets on our pulse points.

The hammock is one of the great examples of undesign, demonstrating humanity’s canny capacity to meet a basic need with an abundant resource. Over centuries, the act of sleeping in the air, supported by textile, has travelled from indigenous vernacular to popular culture, arriving as a hollow emblem of luxury repose.

Milan Design Week started life in 1961 as a furniture trade fair, the ‘Salone del Mobile’. And, though the trade fair itself is still a vital component of the event, the week is now a riotous, cacophonous, global celebration of cultural activity, matching our broadened appreciation of design as a tool for progress, more than a process for making furniture.

In recent years, car brands have become part of the furniture at Milan Design Week. Most roll in and out of town, happy to have promoted their design credentials during the week-long proceedings as part of a marketing exercise. 2025 bore news of an altogether different level of auto-engagement, however, with the announcement of an ongoing collaborative relationship between Maserati and Giorgetti, titans of design in cars and furniture, respectively.
