When designing an office space you have to consider the surroundings and the use.
And that is exactly what the Italian design studio, ANK in Venice, did. For an Italian law firm they created a modern and hip, yet serious space.
For lighting they used our Hang lamp designed by Rikke Hagen. The soft retro inspiration and the classic design make every room special. The lamp is a good example of functionallity and simplicity.

This is Bunny – our new armchair!
With its soft, voluminous forms, this is a chair you can snuggle into as well as appreciate for its edgy, humorous contribution to any room. Bunny is a fresh interpretation of the classic ear chair. The chair’s cheeky and playful design is further emphasised by the tightly-strapped strings wrapped around the soft, upholstered body.
Soft Edges.
Tight Strings.
Bunny comes in three colors grey, pink and purple.
Straight Back – soft shapes.
Bunny is created by the designer duo Iskos-Berlin aka Boris Berlin and Aleksej Iskos.
The designers explain : “We have always felt that the ear chair has somewhat been forgotten as a style of furniture. Most people associate it with grandpa sitting with his newspaper or with granny and her knitting. It was therefore exciting to reinterpret the chair in a fun way, with recollections of the cute cuddly toys we had as children and of the soft Bunny – now also for adults!”

We are happy to announce that our colourful and decorative Rainbow Trivet, designed by the German design trio Ding3000, has been awarded the prestigious 2011 GOOD DESIGN Award.
From the designers point of view:
“Design has a magical ability to make products desirable as opposed to merely functional. When we developed Rainbow Trivet it was a question of finding the optimal folding mechanism, making the finished trivet both aesthetically attractive and practical to use. Rainbow Trivet has a playful expression and looking at the colours puts you in a good mood.”
The award is hosted by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture & Design and Metropolitan Arts Press Ltd and is awarded for quality designs of the highest form, function and aesthetic appearance. GOOD DESIGN Award was established in Chicago in 1950 by Edgar J. Kaufmann Jr. in collboration with design pioneers such as Eero Saarinen, Charles & Ray Eames and Florence Knoll.
Tomorrow, we are attending our first fair this year, Formland in Herning, it is the first of many.
On the fairs we will present our latest additions to the Normann Copenhagen family.

Normann Copenhagen has been awarded the Denmark global innovation award (gia) for ‘most innovative store’ for our 1,700 m2 Flagship Store at Østerbro in Copenhagen. Gia is an international award presented to the most innovative and exciting store in the field of interior design and décor in Denmark.
The award is then presented on an international scale, with Denmark competing against the rest of the world at The International Home + Housewares Show in Chicago in March 2012. We won in the ‘small independent retailers’ category.
“We are delighted and proud to receive the Denmark gia, and we are excited about the international prize-giving event in 2012. We want Normann Copenhagen to be an ongoing source of inspiration for our visitors 24/7. As an example, we design a new window display every evening,” explains Peter Elmegaard, Retail Director and co-owner.
If visiting Copenhagen there are certain things on a tourists list that are must-see like the little Mermaid, the Royal Palace and now of course also the Normann Copenhagen Flagship Store….
We are proud to be featured in both the Guardians Insider Guide and the Monocle Denmark Survey .
We look forward welcoming design lovers all over the world.
