From a design point of view, this is not the most beautiful rock in the world… far from. But it is a piece of rock from the Berlin wall that was taken down 20 years ago today. – and therefore we think it is one of the most beautiful rocks in the world. Berlin we love you.
Do you know a great design twitter? – someone everybody who loves design must follow. Please let us know, because we are trying to build the ultimate design twitter list - the one list to follow if you want the best design news first. Add a link in the Comments field above. Thank you

Have you ever wondered how Danes manage to survive the dark cold, windy and often wet (not much snow) winters? Well, we are here to tell how we do it – the Normann Copenhagen way:
Boje Estermanns Funnel is quite a simple product – both in design and use. But sometimes it’s the simplest things that are the most difficult to develop. From a technical point of view the shape of the funnel “rings” was no easy task. Thin enough to flex, yet thick enough to hold the shape.
Today, the Normann Copenhagen Funnel is one of our most sold (and copied!) products.
Watch our super short Funnel-folding-video… its probably the shortest product demonstration in the world.
First you fall in love – then you buy. Stay tuned.
We say women can do everything men can… but sometimes they just do it with a bit more… style. But what is Anne doing?
If you are in Tokyo these days drop by the Royal Danish embassy. The front of the building has been covered with pictures of the top of the pop, when it comes to Danish designers including our very own Ole Jensen. (Washing-up bowl, Dustpan, Familia, Warm, Collect, Memory chair)
Grab your mobile, take a picture of the 2D code and you are on the way to tons of bonus info… nice modern twist by the oldest kingdom in the world.
UPDATE: Watch the “How to video” from Japan.
Last week the Danish designer Nicholai Wiig Hansen (Bob-game, NW1, One table) got a new and quite impressive design office for a few hours. Turning the + 1.700m2 Normann Copenhagen flagship store into his studio, while getting the final details right on his next product. Expect to see the final result very soon. Until then you can enjoy some of his other creations below.
Unfortunately it is not unusual that our design is copied somewhere in the world. Going after the design-pirates is often a long, costly and difficult process. Instead, we thought you would like to see some of the design-freaks we sometimes spot and then make the judgement yourself!

Once again the brilliant designers at Apple in California has created the next must-have gizmo. Besides a few nice updates to the iMac lineup, Apple is also introducing a new mouse called Magic Mouse. From a design point of view it is truly magical that Jonathan Ive & Co has managed to integrate so many new features into such a minimalist design.
… so dear Santa. Besides the WHY-yacht we would also like some of that magical Apple mouse design.
