A global perspective on design

Your Access to What’s Next
The design world does not reveal itself in a single moment. It unfolds across cities, conversations and quiet breakthroughs behind closed doors. There are two significant Design Fairs coming up.
Following Salone del Mobile (Milan Furniture Fair) in April, the journey continues to 3daysofdesign in June...
Two distinct design capitals. Two very different expressions.
Milan’s intensity and theatre. Copenhagen’s clarity and restraint.
Together, they form a complete picture of where global design is heading.
This year, we are going deeper. Not just what is shown, but how it comes to life. Private showroom viewings. Personal conversations with designers. The thinking behind the materials, the finishes, the forms. And importantly, the unfiltered moments. The process, the pivots, the highs and the inevitable challenges that shape truly great design.
In late June top3 by design will unveil an exclusive "Global Design Wrap Up 2026".
A considered, European-led perspective on the ideas, movements and makers defining interiors right now.
This is not a trend report. It is an insider’s view.
By invitation only.

Two brands, one heartbeat.
|
Exhibiting together in Milan, Janua and Freifrau bring their philosophy of “two brands, one heartbeat” to life through a powerful demonstration of material and finish. Beyond the beauty of the pieces themselves, what makes this a must-see for designers is the depth of customisation. From richly grained timbers and tailored finishes to an extensive palette of fabrics and leathers, every element can be considered, combined and refined. This allows designers to move beyond standard specifications and instead create truly individual pieces. Furniture that feels bespoke, resolved and completely aligned to their client’s vision. It is not just about selecting products, but about composing them.
Janua and Freifrau cordially invite you to join them on-site and get a first look at their new 2026 collections. In a relaxed atmosphere, they will take the time to discuss product ranges, projects, and shared visions.
Visit Freifrau + Janua at their 210-square-meter booth and be inspired.
