Cool fresh interpretations of Arne Jacobsen’s iconic Series 7 chair by students of The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts as seen at the Copenhagen Design Week exhibition at the harbor in Copenhagen. Love to see what students come up with!
A rich and wonderful antique store and gallery in Bornholm, Denmark, filled with beautiful vintage things and handcrafted pieces of art in various forms. I would have loved to take home that tile mural, but it was extremely heavy. Next time I’ll make it happen. Enjoy the textural beauty!
I LOVE the new background image for my scandinavian kitchens & design blog. Here is the original image I took it from. I had wandered around back roads to discover a wonderful view of rooftops and the sea in Bornholm, a tiny island off the coast of Denmark.
Images from the official opening of Copenhagen Design Week at the Danish Design Center including performances, one, a ballet on the Egg chair. That is an image of Prince Frederik, who was one row in front of me, three seats over. If you are a lover of design, I would urge you to please take ten minutes to read this post on Copenhagen Design Week. I, for one, was extremely inspired by these words.
Lovely modern hand blown glass from http://www.balticseaglass.com/ in Bornholm, Denmark, situated with the sea and sky as a backdrop to illuminate the glass beautifully. What a wonderful place.
One day I will own Montana storage products from Denmark. They can go anywhere in the home. I can definitely see them in the kitchen or breakfast area. Simply elegant and elegantly casual. I love the detailing and they come in a very wide variety of sizes and endless colors.
Scandinavia has a rich history in the art of ceramics. Jesper Packness has a wonderful store in Copenhagen, filled with wonderful ceramics. I could not purchase one piece, because I loved everything in the store. Next time, I’ll force myself to decide what to buy. Design a kitchen around a ceramics collection?
Why not?
Another visit, another shot in the antiques shop, Atelier September, in Copenhagen
Tile in a shower in a gorgeous, stylish, new hostel in Copenhagen that my two boys stayed at while attending a family event. A common tile pattern in Scandinavia, simple and rectilinear. (image by Susan)
This is Part I of a series on Scandinavian grays - images I took in Scandinavia of grays used in different ways on different materials. The real thing! I hope it is inspiring.

Above: Here it looks more blue than gray because it’s against a warm shade. With a bluer blue next to it, the door would appear very gray (image by Susan)
