Have you invested in a oversize-all-included designer grill? Well, we are here to tell you of a much cooler way to prepare your food this summer. We just returned from Norway where we gave a peptalk to the Norwegian design community. We met Tanja Sæter, a brilliant young glass designer who also uses her glassblower expertise as a seafood chef by grilling the food - using 900 degrees hot glass as the grill.
Today we say goodbye to our old salad set. New salads demand new salad sets – and to be honest, the old set was a bit… grumpy. Say hello to the new kid on the block. The Krenit Salad set, designed by Herbert Krenchel back in 1953. This youngster comes in two colors (B&W) and is bound to spice up your next summer salad with some Danish minimalism.
Bon appetite
Every city has it’s secret places. Harry’s Place in Copenhagen is one of them. You barely notice it when you pass it, but ask anybody in NordVest and they know Harry’s Place – the place to eat the perfect lunch consisting of a Danish red hotdog, a bøfsandwich (almost a hamburger, but it tastes much better), and of cause the cold chocolate milk… a classic combination.
Danish goldsmith Patricia Tind has taken the Harry’s Place concept and added a few new ingredients. A series of hand-made jewelry give instant street respect - and show everybody that you are a true Harry’s Place original.
The “Micro Børge” hotdog pin comes in several different colors and materials. This one is the classic “Rød Pølse” Made in sterling silver and red lack.
High-end hotdog! Go for the 18 carats gold pin with a sparkling diamond.
Nice wrapping makes the Micro Børge a perfect hostess gift.
This beautiful neckless is inspired by the paper hotdog plates (the corners). The design will create a fun contrast at the gourmet candlelight dinner… making you thoughts drift off to a place where you can get a proper meal – fast.
Patricia Tinds work is part of the Bodybuilding exhibition that opened yesterday in our Flagship store in Copenhagen.
Today Spring finally arrived in Copenhagen. You could tell by the number of hip sunglasses and the size of the smiles on peoples faces. For us it was a perfect excuse to go outside and enjoy the first warm rays while playing with our super slow-motion camera.

Although it has been around for a while, I just happened to walk by a really great store in Amsterdam for the first time last weekend. Papabubble is a candy shop that sells ‘artistic candy‘. The store was founded in Barcelona by two Australians, and soon stores in Amsterdam, Tokyo and New York followed.
In the store itself (or atelier as some call it) the candy creators cook, color and flavor the sugar and subsequently stretch, shape and cut it. It’s cool to see such craftmanship and love going into the candy, making it as creative and beautiful as possible. And trust me, not only does it look great but it sure tastes well too!

We love our bikes here in Copenhagen but we also love coffee. The other day I spotted this amazing ”coffee bike” in Copenhagen. Great idea. Notice the mailboxes (Post) on the side… how does that work…do you know?

This is the Danish Hindbærsnitte. If you don’t know it – you must try it. You will either hate it (probably because its too sweet) or you will (like the Normann Copenhagen HQ team) love it. Our now former colleague Anne Marie made these “snitter”. If you also want to give your colleagues a extra nice treat, here is the recipe in Danish and the Google translated English version. Enjoy.
