Friday evening Plane took off from Copenhagen with the help from 1500 passengers. During the four hour flight we danced, enjoyed “Flyversjusser” and Tiger-beer, got tattoos - both fake and real ones, watched the Monorex boys in action, had a visit by the American ambassador, and made sure that Plane is off to a flying start.
p.s. more than 400 Planes went “missing in action” during the night. If you see one please email us a picture of its new airport - so we know it had a safe landing… thanks

When was the last time you gave a colleague a big hug? This is the kind of welcome Simon got this morning when he showed up for work. Christina you are not just a great colleague, you also make everybody around you smile - thanks for that.
This morning I saw one of the Danish Ministers (Connie Hedegaard) on her way to work, sitting in the backseat of her VW Phaeton…nothing interesting about that. But take a close look at the small picture and you will see her bicycle on the back of the car. In fact several of the Danish Ministers prefer riding their bikes when in town… imagine that in Washington, Paris or London. Copenhagen I love you.
Say hello to our new German Sales Manager Tobias Neumann. We first met Tobias one month ago when he wanted to interview us for his Master marketing theses.
This young man acts like us, thinks like us and…drinks like us! What does that mean? Well you just have to meet Tobias in real life…probably in the fast lane on the German autobahn.
Last Friday the Normann Copenhagen sales team visited Ole Jensen in his workshop. It was a great chance to get a peek into what new projects Ole is working on. However what was even more interesting was how Ole described his work - from the first idea to the final product. Ole truly loves what he does and if you doubt us, just take a look at the pictures below…true passion
Meet Ole in his workshop (video)

The Krenit Bowl is once again available for all Krenit lovers. The classic shape is retained; however, the material is melamine.
Normann Copenhagen is proud to announce our cooperation with the fascinating Herbert Krenchel who designed the design icon; the enamel Krenit-bowl in 1953.
Herbert Krenchel explains: “As the production stopped in 1966, it was natural to turn to melamine which is a harden plastic of extraordinary high quality and at the same time the material used for the salad set. The Krenit Salad Bowl in melamine is, in my opinion, a great bowl with the same qualities as the enamel Krenit Bowl – especially in use with the Krenit Salad Set.”
Take a look at the Krenit Salad Bowl and Krenit Salad Set on our homepage.
Right now (10.03 am CET) you can listen to the designer Ole Jensen on Danish radio P1. He will be talking about his design including the rubber washing-up bowl. Not only is Ole a very smart person but he also has a very rare and authentic accent…from somebody that has been living in Copenhagen for a great many years.

We have been taking pictures of Woofy our cable container dog with friends from around the world, for a while. But this picture of two gentlemen from New York got us to think of a very special movie…It’s not personal its business!!!
The New York City marathon in November. The last couple of years the whether has been perfect, a little chili but still warm enough for shorts for the runners. But it can be cold when they stop running and the muscles cool down fast. Therefore all runners get a big silver look like, shinning cover when they finish their run. It keeps them warm and except from being convenient and practical for the runners, it creates a great sight all over Central Park, when you see the runners leave after their long run.
