Carlsberg’s raw warehouse at Pasteursvej 4, currently form the framework for the Danish Design Schools annual graduate show. It is an exhibition where the 75 new design talents have the opportunity to show their talent to the public.

This year’s concept is based on the term FAQ, which refers to a list of frequently asked questions about a given topic and replies. We often ask the same questions and therefore are the response from the designer interesting for many.

Many found their way into the raw warehouse, despite the very rainy weather.

The opposite of a modern and minimalistic design from B&O.

We hope you by now know that we recently opened our very own webshop. Last week we ran out of the famous Grass vase in size medium. What did we do to solve the problem?

We teamed up with the visitors at the High Museum of Art in downtown Atlanta and forced everyone to make medium size Grass vases!!

Well, thats not quite true… we did run out of Grass medium size, but the people in the picture above is part of a fun event at the museum where the Danish designduo Claydies taught visitors how to make their own version of the Grass vase. Photo credit and more amazing pics by Mr. Kelvin Kuo.

This is not a Washing-up bowl! You may think it is the Ole Jensen’s rubber bowl – but its not! Sounds strange? Sometimes a product is designed for one purpose, but depending on the circumstances used for something completely different. Ole Jensen may have designed the rubber bowl for washing up, but it’s now being used for many different things… see examples after the click below.
