Over the summer my boyfriend and I visited Copenhagen for a week. It was a very inspiring place and I would love to go back.
We visited the Design Museum of Denmark which had a great collection of pieces from the 20th Century. A retrospective of Hans Wegner was also showing. I never realised how ground braking he was as most of his designs I take for granted as standard but he was way ahead of his time. He really really loved chairs.
Danish design is incredibly slick and clean. It looks effortless but the process behind it I'm sure is anything but. Less is more and I think that is something I need to consider going into 3rd year.
