We made an Online Site – Offline!

To celebrate our new site, we decided to turn the corridor in our Flagship Store in Copenhagen into an installation exhibition. Starting tonight at 7 pm – and the four following weeks – we  have taken our  new online universe and put it into an offline context – sounds confusing?  Take a look at the pictures below – or join the launch reception tonight.

We have turned the facade of our Flagship Store into the frontpage of our  new site.

Real social networking – sit and share the event with old  or new friends.

We have made a video – describing the shopping experience on www.normann-copenhagen.com

Sign up for our newsletter offline! – or online.

You are invited!

For a while we have been working on our new site which combines brandsite, web shop and social content in one. You might have been following the process on www.wedosocialbusiness.com.

We want to celebrate it is online! We are throwing a big launch reception on Friday from 7pm to 10pm in our Flagship Store – and you are invited!
Join the facebook event here.

If you can’t wait until Friday or if you are not able to make it to Copenhagen – take a look at the new site now www.normann-copenhagen.com

A Photo Diary by Simon Legald

Previously we interviewed  Simon Legald, a young up-and-coming designer, about his expectation of the Salone Milan Fair. Simon went with Normann Copenhagen to Milan, helped with the set up of the stand, spotted new design and many other things around Milan. See his photo-diary below.

Impressions from Milan

Kristine, Assistant Store Manager in our Flagship Store went to Milan for the Salone fair last week. She spotted four of the latest trends in interior design.

 

Plants- and lots of them.
Bring nature inside your home.

Fresh yellow – on walls, chairs, rugs
and even on shelves.

Styling was made in smaller groups.

The Vitra and Moroso exhibitions were as always impressive.

Ciao From Milan!

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
Normann Copenhagen
