The tip of the design iceberg


Have you ever noticed how designers are presented? Often they are portrayed in very stylish and polished surroundings. However, you very seldom get to see the real thing – how they work.

The other day I got to visit Rikke Hagen and learn how she turns a piece of hot glass into the most beautiful shapes… its hard work – very hard. Your skin is only a few centimeters from melting glass, it’s very noisy, sometimes the room is full of smoke and you only have a few seconds to get the shape perfect. So next time you buy something made out of glass, remember that you only see the tip of the design-iceberg.

We love great design

Normann Copenhagen is a way of living - a mindset. We like to think of it as putting on a pair of glasses and seeing the world in a different way. We love to challenge the conventional design rules.

On this blog we write about our design, the designers, and interesting things we spot around our hometown - Copenhagen.

Enjoy
