Danish Designer lunch – it works!

Here at the Normann Copenhagen HQ we love great food and today we were in for a wonderful treat. Right before lunch these delicious mini “smørrebrød” arrived from a company called Danish minies. Within seconds everyone gathered around the plate (a Mormor plate of cause) and within minutes they were all gone… uhm. It may just have been a smart marketing stunt, but hey we loved it.

Guess what we ate! – the one right in front is a “Tartar-mad” – thats raw meat with capers, quail egg, horseradish and raw red onion. See them all here (in Danish).

Four One-Eyed Friends!

Say hello to our new Friends. Four trivets designed by the anonymous artist, HuskMitNavn, and designer Troels Øder Hansen. The four cork trivets refer to the food on the table featuring a caricatured figure universe of a chicken, a pig, a cow and a fish. We hope your new Friends will bring an extra smile to the dining table. Bon appetit.

Troels Øder Hansen vs. HuskMitNavn say: “We wanted to give the traditional cork trivet a new lease of life. We work in the comic strip world and on the basis of the notion that things are more amusing when they are funny, which is reflected in Friends Trivets in an unpretentious way”.

When have you met an excellent sales person able to communicate a product to you by telling multiple stories and creating several pictures in your head, making you desperate to buy her/his products?

Their latest feature of adding recipes for drinks and food is mind-blowing and plays with almost all your senses. Still nor Scope or we have figured out how to have add smell and taste to the online experience – but mouth-watering it is.

Experience for yourself and start cooking – no need to understand Japanese:)

Do you have a passion for design? Do you – like us – always notice every design detail around you – the handle on a coffee cup , the fabric of the drapes, a cover on a phone or even the shape of the air vents in a new car.

We do – and we cant stop! – so imagine our joy when we spotted the Krenit bowl in use at one of the most impressive hotels in Paris, the Shangri-La Hotel.


Krenit bowl designed in 1953 by Herbert Krenchel. In the picture it’s the White version Ø 8.4 cm.

Spotted in Milan

Not easy to spot. But take a close look at the glasses in the left picture and you will find two of our Cognac glasses. The picture is from the worlds only 7 star hotel! –  Seven Stars Galleria in Milano.

Spotted at MoMA

The Ole Jensen rubber washing-up bowl used as an ice-cooler and the Rocking glasses used for dessert. Both spotted at the MoMA Cafe´in New York.

Today we would like to tell you about a very special place here in the cold north. It is one of our all time favorite Cafees – the Louisiana (Museum of Modern Art) Café in Humlebæk. You may know the museum – but have you ever had a hot cup of coco  - sitting in front of the fire place – looking at the amazing art – and the ocean… it’s to die for.


Alexander Calders amazing sculptures.

Bonus info. If you arrive with kids “drop” them of at the Children’s wing – it’s awesome.

Who said a knife had to be oblong?

Knives are often the same form and you don’t really see other designs than straight and oblong knives. But who said you couldn’t mess with tradition. And if the result is great why not flaunt it? Say hello to Chop Chop – designed by the Italian designduo LucidiPevere Studio.

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
