This year, we partnered with Local Heroes and the Scottish Nordic Office to present 'What Are You Looking At?' at the 3 Days of Design festival in Copenhagen.
Located in the Craft + Materials district, the installation will feature iconic patterns by Timorous Beasties in the historic canal-side setting of Christianshavn.
18-20 JUNE 2025

Overgaden Oven Vandet 54, Copenhagen
Opening hours: 10.00 - 18.00
This full room installation features a vivid mix of wallpaper and textile patterns reflected by a mirrored floor, transforming the space into an immersive world of print. Responding to the 3daysofdesign theme KEEP IT REAL, we've created a space that celebrates individual expression and offers the chance to step into the whimsical and sometimes menacing world of Scotland’s most iconic print designers. The canal side showroom in Christianshavn offers an opportunity to meet the designers and get hands–on experience of the artisan skill of printmaking.
