At the People’s Meeting in Bornholm, Denmark Public Housing decided to participate to highlight the importance of the issue of public housing in the country.
Danish Kristoffer Tejlgaard and Benny Jepsen designed the venue where the meeting took place to stand out in a good way. The dome provides a column-less space that has small crevices and niches for the placement of a stage and the required seating.

The Stay Apartment Hotel in Copenhagen is a place of beauty. Located on Island Brygge, a fast developing residential area, the hotel has been decorated with very little colour, just stark black and white furnishings.
While waiting for their permits, Walls, the Danish real estate company behind the Stay Apartment Hotel, lent the old A House building to local artists, designers, musicians and other creatives who turned the building into an alternative Copenhagen landmark.

Let me set the scene: you are at a trade fair and have to give out your business card, but horror of horrors, you forgot the whole box at home. What do you do? Well if you are Copenhagen designer Ishac Bertan, you pull out the little pocket letterpress he made from recycled parts.

On the 12th of August 2011, Prince Christian, first born son of Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, posed with his proud parents before beginning his very first day of school.

Five year old Prince Christian will be the first member of the Danish Royal family to attend a public school rather than a private institution.
Made in Denmark from Beachwood laminate, this chair measure 16h x 17w x 12”d and is the perfect size for a child. Featured in The MoMA Collection and designed by Kristian Vedel, this children’s chair can be converted from a chair of normal height, to a highchair by changing the height of the seat. It can also be made into a cradle or a tunnel entrance to another world (with a little imagination) by taking the seats out completely. When the smaller plate is inserted into the frame, the chair can be used for eating, playing, or drawing.
Mariane Nielson studied at Designskolen in Kolding, Denmark from 1994 to 1999 and soon after worked for a while at The Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufacturer with the project “Fremtidens spisestel” (Dinnerware of the Future). She has worked in her own studio in Copenhagen since 2000. Her one-off work has been shown in many exhibitions throughout Denmark and Europe. Within the world of ceramics, Marianne Nielsen belongs to a special category of phenomenologists, of a sort, who for the sake of comprehension simply choose to express their observations and considerations through ceramics. – and hence the conventional ceramics descriptions fall short in her company.
