When we choose new colours for our products or when we decide what we want to purchase for our Flagship Store ( furniture, design and fashion) we make storyboards. It is a great and simple tool for us. We want to share some of our key words and how Spring 2012 looks like in the Normann Copenhagen world.

Overall you will find lots of colour – a mix of both strong and more delicate colours.

Metal colours such as gold, silver and copper.
Instead of patterns and prints, textiles will be one colour and with structure.

NOMA Lab gets the STAR Lamp

Yesterday, we went to the opening of the NOMA Lab. The press and friends of the NOMA house were invited to experience the new innovative and creative place where worldclass food is created by the chefs of NOMA. We were there as we, together with GXN, have developed the STAR lamp which are now giving light to the room. STAR lamp is exclusively made for NOMA.

Nordic, Raw and Playful
The NOMA Lab is connected to NOMA situated in a former warehouse on the national registry of protected buildings. The tight restrictions meant that GXN was required to design the interior without using so much as one single nail in the walls or flooring. The approach was to design four central multi-functional storage units; each composed from over five hundred uniquely formed wooden cubes. Curving playfully throughout the space, these units divide the 200M2 room into smaller areas accommodating the Food Lab, the herb garden, staff areas and office. Raw and simple, through colours and forms, it captures a unique Nordic aesthetic. True to the restaurant’s philosophy, the NOMA Lab is developed exclusively using Nordic materials.

In the North we like our crisp bread in the morning and for this month’s Normann Food we would like to inspire you to make your own crisp bread.

You will need :

1 dl. sunflower seeds
1 dl. pumpkin seeds
1 dl. flax seeds
1 dl. sesame seeds
1 dl. oatmeal
2 tea spoons of salt
1 tea spoon of backing powder
1 dl. olive oil
2 dl. water
3 dl. wheat flour

Here is how it is done :

Mix all the ingredients and knead it until it is a sticky mass.
Seperate the dough into three equally sized portions.
Roll each portion flat onto a piece of greaseproof paper.
Cut the dough into sizes appropriate to crisp bread.
Place the breads in the oven and bake them in 15 minutes at 200º celcius.

When they are done, let them cool off for bit before eating.

We like our crisp bread with cheese and homemade marmelade accompanied by a soft-boiled egg and a nice cup of tea.

The latest Normann Copenhagen products is the Knife Pot. Keep your kitchen utensils in one place. That is the essence of Knife Pot, a space-saving and simple knife block featuring an inbuilt turntable with space for knives, whisks and wooden spoons.

Form follows function
Adrian and Jeremy explain: “We focused on function in the design of Knife Pot. Its expression is devoid of any unnecessary frills. Various expressions are instead created through the colours and shapes of the kitchen utensils.”

The designer-duo DesignWright has created a simple and functional design, the expression of which mirrors the function and ensures that you have your favourite kitchen utensils close at hand.

Knife Pot is easy to dismantle and clean and comes in five soft tones of black, white, grey, blue and nude.

Knife Pot is available in our online shop, click here to see more and buy.
