This June, Lyzadie Design Studio stepped once again onto the international stage at 3 Days of Design, Copenhagen’s prestigious design festival, quickly becoming one of the most significant global events on the design calendar. From June 18–20, under the festival’s 2025 theme “Keep It Real”, Lyzadie unveiled her latest works—PIN&YANG and the lyrical SLEEVE Collection— along with pieces from LETS WEAVE, as part of The Spirit of a Land Exhibition in District Kultur, one of the eight creative zones dotted across the city.
To take part in 3 Days of Design is to be immersed in a design ecosystem unlike any other. The event transforms Copenhagen into a walkable, living gallery—where exhibitions unfold in converted palaces, canal-side apartments, cultural institutions, and tucked-away courtyards. Past attendees have called it “Scandinavia’s answer to Venice,” a more intimate, human-scale design biennale that privileges conversation and connection over spectacle. For Lyzadie, whose work is rooted in deep storytelling, craftsmanship, and cultural honouring, it felt like the perfect setting to introduce new collections that are both grounded in Aotearoa and ready for the world.
Visitors responded with genuine excitement. LETSWEAVE, with its sculptural forms made from reclaimed Kauri and Rimu, captured hearts and conversations. The minimalist vases from the SLEEVE collection, crafted in white clay, offered a moment of quiet contemplation within the rhythm of the event. And PIN & YANG—bold, balanced, and architectural—felt right at home alongside some of the most respected names in global design.
Media response was equally enthusiastic. Dezeen Showroom, one of the world’s most influential design platforms, featured Lyzadie’s work the day before the event opened—an early signal that the international design world was paying attention. The feedback on the ground was clear: Lyzadie’s studio may be based in New Zealand, but her work belongs on the global stage.
What stood out most, though, was the atmosphere: generous, curious, electric. There was a sense that everyone was there not just to see, but to engage—to listen, to exchange, to be moved. In that space, Lyzadie’s collections didn’t just sit in a room—they spoke. They told stories of land, of heritage, of care. And people listened.
The studio now looks ahead to exhibitions in Melbourne and growing interest from international galleries and collectors indicating 3 Days of Design wasn’t just a successful outing—the studio is no longer emerging, it has arrived.
