Kristine, Assistant Store Manager in our Flagship Store went to Milan for the Salone fair last week. She spotted four of the latest trends in interior design.
The Vitra and Moroso exhibitions were as always impressive.
On March 13th we went to Chicago to collect the prestigious gia denmark award which our Flagship Store has been awarded recently. The award was handed out during a big gala dinner. After the gala we also had time to sightsee a bit of Chicago.

This weekend the World Expo in Shanghai opened. During the next six months it’s expected to be visited by up to 100 million people! If you are in the neighborhood you should definetly visit the Danish Pavilion where you can take a Copenhagen bike for a spin inside -and on top of the building. We are of course proud to have several of our products (Swing vase, Grass vase, Plane, Liqueur and Cognac glasses) for sale inside the Danish Pavilion.
Not planning a trip to Shanghai to ride bikes and do some Norman Copenhagen shopping! Well we thought of that too. Now you can see and buy the Shanghai selection in our new Webshop.
Normann Copenhagen visited the Pavilion a month ago and we are amazed with the speed which the Chinese and Danish construction workers have managed to turn a “ugly duckling” into a beautiful danish design swan.
From a design point of view, this is not the most beautiful rock in the world… far from. But it is a piece of rock from the Berlin wall that was taken down 20 years ago today. – and therefore we think it is one of the most beautiful rocks in the world. Berlin we love you.
If you are in Tokyo these days drop by the Royal Danish embassy. The front of the building has been covered with pictures of the top of the pop, when it comes to Danish designers including our very own Ole Jensen. (Washing-up bowl, Dustpan, Familia, Warm, Collect, Memory chair)
Grab your mobile, take a picture of the 2D code and you are on the way to tons of bonus info… nice modern twist by the oldest kingdom in the world.
