I have only been in Copenhagen, Denmark 5 days and I have
already fallen in love with it’s natural charm all over again, This is my 3rd
time here, such a great city. Of course for someone who loves and works in
design industry, It is like visiting the Design Motherland. I often wonder if
most Danes who grew up with these surroundings really understand our over-gushiness
and ever so slight misty eyes when experiencing first hand it’s naturalness and the quiet intensity of the design spirit that lives here in Denmark.It's amazing how here it's just a way of life integrated so smoothly its seamless.
That spirit seems evident in every step around Copenhagen,
Of course most of my personal steps took me into stores I have been looking
forward to seeing for a long time. At DWR, One of my client’s, We get to work
first hand with wonderful products from Muuto, Hay, Finn Juhl, Arne Jacobsen
and Normann Copenhagen to name a few.
In Hellerup where I am staying, You can smell the sea air, birds are tweeting, families are taking dinner on their terraces, kids are laughing, It's like living in a beautiful fairytale, A far cry from my noisy block back in NYC.
The flagship Hay Store here in Copenhagen is amazing and I
always love visiting the store to see all their products I know well in one
place. In Illums Department Store, There is the most amazing collection of home wares under 2 roofs. Not to mention the great Flea Markets I have visited and the stores, I will post more of my finds at a later date, For now, It's time again to hit the streets.
