&Tradition have their main showrooms and offices on Kronprinsessegade in a fine 18th-century townhouse at the corner of the King's Garden.

Here, for 3daysofdesign, they showed their collection "creating a more balanced working environment."

As at Lindencrones Palæ, the furniture from &Tradition looks good in the setting of the historic interiors of the house.

3daysofdesign should be taken as an opportunity to see the buildings occupied by the showrooms and offices, meeting rooms and display spaces of these major Danish design companies. Many critics and even many designers talk about Danish design as if it first appeared in the 1960s but looking around these fine town houses of the professional middle and upper classes of Copenhagen society, you can see how comfortable, light, well appointed and how comfortably furnished Danish homes have been for four or five hundred years.

&Tradition have a collection of furniture and lighting that has a growing number of good new designs balanced with the reissue of a number of historic pieces and around the house are shown some of the original drawings for these classic designs.

More than many other furniture companies, &Tradition use heavily textured fabrics for upholstery to contrast with the beautifully finished wood of frames or backs. The Betty Chair designed by Sami Kallio and Jakob Thau has an option stained black with a woven seat using broad linen tape in a natural colour and there is a low bench to match which show well this use of the contrast between wood and the natural linen.

The Drawn Chair by Peter Hvidt and Orla Mølgaard Nielsen, designed in the 1950s but just rereleased by &Tradition, has an elegant frame in either oak or walnut with the seat in natural paper cord.
