The Glacier

The new Opera in Oslo is a beautiful building. In fact the Norwegians call it the Glacier…if we were to give the new Opera house in Copenhagen a nickname it would be “the freight container and the ball”.

EXPO 2008 in Zaragoza


The Danish pavilion at the current EXPO 2008 in Zaragoza not only communicate the Danish approach to the overall theme. It also tells the Normann Copenhagen story very well.

From A to B


What a great way to move people between two buildings (a Hospice in Viborg (Denmark) and a Hotel). The cabin is so big that you can actually lie down inside it. I think it is a very clever idea and it doesn’t look bad in the nature.

Half a product?


The German Auto maker AUDI was part of this year’s exhibition and their stunning display of half a car created a lot of interest from the visitors. We were not the only ones taking photos. 

They show only half a car, but the few VIP guest invited inside could enjoy the whole car - MAGIC.

Happy Meal that actually makes you happy


This nice tray of freshly prepared Japanese lunch servings was available at the stunning price of 5€. Not only does it beat the Happy Meal price of the American Giant, but more certainly the quality of the food and serving brings real joy. Tea, good service and smile included…

Hidden bottle?

It is for hiding or protection? That is probably up to you to decide. But one thing is for sure, the bottle in a book is a perfect gift item for the person, who has everything. I found this bottle in a book in a store in New Mexico.

Hot decoration


There are a lot of different ways to decorate your home and house. Chili is a very popular product to use when you are in New Mexico. Plenty of houses have chili outside the house, and it looks great.

Windy decoration


This decoration looks its best when the wind is blowing, because it gets the decoration to move and you see a whole different decoration than when it is standing still. Some of them make a sound some of them not, but all have some great natural colors, which could look good in most gardens.

Rikke Hagens diary from Milan

Should I go…?

Oh yes, I’ll take a little trip to Milan to figure out the design-worlds Mecca. I haven’t really got the time. Throw both runners and high heels in my bag. You never know what is going to happen…

I got invited to a press-conference with ‘Star Starck’ himself. I’m wearing runners. It gets crowded around him, the Press and all the others with Italian elegance and high heels. Starck is telling about his next big move…it might get big, he says. I catch a glass of champagne and a canapé. “Lucky you” is my reflection and then out into the city.
 
I work my way through the big fair wearing runners. It is overwhelming. It looks so easy. I wonder if anybody is thinking about the time it takes for the little things and strange experiments to get that far. One of my toes is killing me. Never mind. I’ll be heading down town.  I’m staying right there in the center, with the pulls beating. So inspired by the lot. I’m wearing high heels. Now I really feel alive.

The day after, I’m in my runners again. I have met many dogs in Milan but I got very fond of one in particular. Fed up to a breaking point with design, heading home to DK. Now it is going to be nice with a cognac and my feet up.

Milan’s everything. High and low.
