Copenhagen's showrooms threw open their doors last week for 3 Days of Design, with many brands announcing fresh reissues pulled from the Danish design archives. Rose Etherington picks 10 of the best midcentury pieces that are now back in production.
3 Days of Design is Denmark's annual design showcase. This year's event took place from Thursday 24 to Saturday 26 May 2018, with nearly 100 exhibitors welcoming visitors to discover Danish design at showrooms, galleries, residencies, studios and embassies across the city.
With the growing resurgence of interest in reviving pieces from the past and so many Danish brands boasting archives full of design classics, several of those headquartered in the city took the opportunity to show off their latest reissues. Designers were ahead of their time
In some cases, companies are finding that the design masters of last century were so ahead of their time that only now, through modern technology, is it possible to manufacture their designs in significant numbers.
One such example is new brand PH Furniture, founded this year specifically to produce furniture pieces from Poul Henningsen's drawings, which manufacturers were never able to make during his lifetime.

Other brands are digging into the archives and discovering that changing ways of living ? particularly the tide of high-end residential spaces built with ever smaller footprints ? can bring new relevance to designs that had previously fallen out of favour.
