The question I’m asked most often is: ‘what are your absolute favorites?’ That’s a tough question because everything on my site is a favorite, because otherwise I won’t write about it. But if I have to narrow them down to a shortlist of the best addresses, so you can print it out and take it with you, you have found the right page. Here you go: my favorites, all Tried & Tested, in Copenhagen! Enjoy! Read more…

Interior shop close to the busy Stroget (the street where you will found all the big fashion chains). Stilleben is a shop where you can find little gifts like the mugs of Playtype or a beautiful iPad sleeve, but also huge prints to hang on your wall, lamps or the Adned Mirror. Entering this shop and Read more…

A few weeks ago Han Kjøbenhavn opened their first store in New York. But it all started in the center of Copenhagen in 2008 where two Danish guys were selling beautiful sun glasses. It got so popular that they opened their flagshipstore in 2012 and they not only sell sunglasses in it, but also clothes, shoes and bags. This small and very stylish Danish empire is a place where guys must go nuts. The store feels almost like a museum: the pieces of Han Kjøbenhavn are presented as it were pieces of art. I’ve spotted a mask Read more…

Playtype is a graphic design company in Copenhagen where they ‘spend hours on the correct curvature of a C or the appropriate amount of space around an A’ (quote on their website from font designer Jonas Hecksher). Typography is their thing and on their website you can even download the most beautiful fonts. And then, a few years ago, they opened a pop up store in Vesterbro to showcase their work. Fonts on Read more…

Their cocktails. Or the bartenders? You will definitely enjoy the style of the guys who work here. Suspenders, a cool hat and tattoos on their arms: you’ll get the picture. Lidkoeb is a bit hidden – close to the cool Vaernedamsvej, but you have to enter a small alley which brings you to the bar. When we Read more…

Dora was already the perfect address to buy yourself some beautiful interior gifts – or to go there for inspiration. A few weeks ago they moved a couple of doors down the road. This street is full of nice addresses (for example Playtype next door) so Read more…

While biking on the Gammel Kongevej I’ve spotted a stunning concept store and it happen to be open for a few weeks now. Black is the store of Anne Black, a ceramics designer. So in here you will find her beautiful work. I especially liked the cups which says ‘black is blue’. Her space is so huge that Read more…

You may have heard about Mikkeller in Copenhagen? A stylish beer cafe in Vesterbro? Well they’ve opened a new one last month called Mikkeler & Friends. Karsten and Kristian from Rum4 did the design for the bar. One of the designers told me he was proud to show me that you won’t notice any white in the bar. And it’s true: everything in here is painted in a light blue/turqoise color. The interior is very inspiring. For example Read more…

Ofcourse I saw the images of Höst Copenhagen popping up on several online interior design magazines and you never know if it’s the same when you arrive on a photogenic address like this. Well I can tell you: it’s even better in real life. The guy who worked at Coffee Collective already told me I had to make a reservation at Höst because the food was so good and not even that expensive. Let’s start with describing the interior: everything is kept back to basic. There’s a lot of wood used in the interior, the large communal tables have huge black industrial lamps hanging above it and the area is filled with beautiful design chairs (some with blankets, others without). There are a few Read more…
