At this year?s 3daysofdesign festival in Copenhagen, Design Milk had a lot of ground to cover. The city was buzzing with excitement, offering design lovers a smorgasbord of exhibitions, installations, and impeccably styled showrooms to celebrate ? and discover ? Danish design both old and new. However, there was one location that we kept going back to throughout the three-day festival: the Fritz Hansen Pavilion. The Danish brand tapped on architecture studio Henning Larsen to design and build the Nordic-inspired structure to commemorate Fritz Hansen?s 150th anniversary. After debuting its design, it had another reason to celebrate, its award of Best Exhibition by 3daysofdesign.

The Fritz Hansen Pavilion sits in the middle of the Grønnegården, the gardens at Designmuseum Denmark where many festival goers were already excited to visit after the museum?s two-year closure for major renovations. The building is quintessentially Danish, highlighted in its simple but refined architecture and use of natural elements. The transparent facade, made with laminated timber and translucent polycarbonate, allows natural light to stream through while offering glimpses of the lush garden just beyond. Photo: Vy Yang
