During the Copenhagen Fashion Week and August out, Normann Copenhagen and Nowak cph are asking the question: Can art be cut in pieces and still be art?

With these gorgeous handmade pillows made by Nowak cph – we say YES - of course!  Each pillow is unique and comes in three different sizes .

Stop by the Flagship Store throughout August and grap a piece of art for your living room!

Interested to know how to make Kuglen? Nowak cph made a movie about how the big “Kuglen” was made. Check it out here at their youtube channel.

This time of year is one of our favourite times. Each day new cool design products arrive and yet again the Flagship Store is turned into a Mecca of cool design. Check out these cool colourful displays made by Kristine.

The modern fusion kitchen draws inspiration from the entire world and mixes different cooking traditions together. Just like music. That is why Odoardo Fioravanti has redesigned a series of traditional kitchen utensils. Fusion Cooking consists of a palette, ladle and tongs, useful both for cooking and serving.

Odoardo Fioravanti explains: “My approach towards design is to observe people’s actions and behaviour, although they constantly change. This is the basis for any new concept. As to Fusion Cooking, I had noticed how people mix different food cultures together and I decided to develop some utensils aimed at the fusion kitchen. I wanted traditional utensils to have a new form, which had not been seen before – as if they had evolved and some new species had been created. The name symbolises both the inspiration behind the design, as well as the fusion in the combination of materials.”

This is Peter and Hirai san. They dont speak each others language. Mr. Hirai san is Japanise and has a very succesfull online stor in Japan called Scope. Peter is our Sales Manager here at Normann Copenhagen. They have met each other many times and they always have a ball together, even without alcohol! How is that possible? Well they speak the same universal language of love for design – and stories. They think alike and even though their cultures are very different they understand and learn from each other…pretty cool when you see them in action.

Scope created this “family icon” that you can find on their homepage… which we only understand thanks to Google Translate

Another example  is when I bought some really nice flowerpots made out of birchtree (they looked like a treelog in fact, very nice!) from my local NETTO store. A Danish friend of mine came by my house and she couldn’t stop laughing, and at first I thought that I, by accident, had bought something that had some kind of special purpose, only I didn’t know about it. Like if the flowerpots were especially made and traditionally used for funerals or something similar!  Imagine the akwardness of that!

Luckily my friend told me that she had never seen that type of pots before, and that she was laughing because she found them truly ugly. 

When I paid the nice lady in the thriftstore the 10 kroners the plate costed she said to me smiling: “You are now more Danish than Swedish”
