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.

Dis[Play] by Lena Vogelius is a multifunctional furniture that is a reminiscent of an accordion as it can be pulled together. Dis[Play] is found to rethink traditional storage methods and the way we use them.

A Danish WaterWorld

This Saturday Copenhagen experienced an extraordinary rainy weather, it rained and rained and rained and didn’t stop before after midnight. About 100 millimetres of water fell, which is a quite extreme amount for us Danes. Streets were closed and cars floated. The home guard, Falck and the Police had a really busy day and are still working to help people with flooded basements or other water damages.

This morning we got a brand new attraction at the Normann Copenhagen flagship store. We got a Danish version of WaterWorld – with a basement full of water. Only one sane thing to do – put on them stylish (and waterproofed) wetsuits and start “shoveling” water.

p.s. swimwear is no longer on sale!

At Normann Copenhagen we love flowers (Exhibit A, Exhibit B, Exhibit C). Yesterday we spotted this flower facade right in the center of Copenhagen (Kongens Nytorv).

More companies should seize the idea and hide their boring grey concrete facades behind a curtain of flowers… would make everybody happier and the company smell better.
