DENMARK ON IPANEMAThe Danish Pavilion

Danish Interior Design

Denmark is one of the most exciting design environments in the world. The desire to improve, simplify and find new correlations between form and functionality has been the guiding principle of Danish design for generations.

In Denmark, quality design graces airports, trains, buses and the entire infrastructure, not to mention the interior design of public and private spaces. The Danish Government supports the development and use of design through measures like funding schools of design, and the Danish Design Centre, whose tasks include promoting the use of design by Danish companies.

The young generation of Danish designers have an international perspective, currently exemplified by a wealth of innovative, experimental design, whose keywords are energy efficiency, environmental sustainability an usability - frequently with a twist and a well-developed sense of humor.

In the Danish Pavilion on Ipanema we present a small selection of Danish design icons as well as contemporary Danish design.

The Poet Sofa was designed by Finn Juhl for his own home 75 years ago and is still being sold all over the world. Today, it is being produced by One Collection in Ringkøbing, on the West Coast of Denmark.

Good Craftsmanship

The rich tradition of craftsmanship survives in many Danish cabinetmaker workshops and small furniture factories, producing classic furniture designed by the pioneers of Danish furniture design like f.i. Finn Juhl, Poul Kjærholm, Hans. J. Wegner, Børge Mogensen, and Nanna Ditzel.

The idea of making a chair based on the most simple and elegant shape of them all, the circle, remained a distant dream until Hans J. Wegner eventually completed the ‘Circle Chair’ design at the age of 72 in 1986.

‘The Round Chair’ from 1949 or ‘The Round One’ as Wegner himself referred to it with his usual provincial modesty, is one of the most famous Danish pieces of furniture - and the most important work of Hans J. Wegner. When John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon met in the first ever, televised election debate in 1960, they sat in the Round Chair. It was chosen mainly for its comfort and genuine quality - made in Denmark and shipped to the USA to play an important role in this historic event. Eventually the Americans came up with a new and more telling name for this chair. They called it simply ’The Chair’. It is produced by PP Furniture in Allerød, in Northern Zealand.

Established Danish and international designers and craftsmen joined by new talents have boarded the DESIGNERSHIP, who has undertaken the captaincy in branding a number of unique designs. The aim is to introduce handmade art ware to the global market. The collection holds well-known, high quality textiles, glasses, ceramics, jewelry, lightings, art and indus- trial designs, but includes a line of products especially designed for DESIGNERSHIP as well.

Tradition and renewal

Royal Copenhagen represent the noble craft of porcelain manufacturing in all its phases – conceived, designed, and made on the basis of more than 240 years of craftsmanship and tradition.

An enlargement of the more than 235 year old blue fluted tradition from Royal Copenhagen, Mega Mussel became the creative point of departure for a design update of the world known brand. Since then, young designers have added new elements, patterns and formats and the result of the crea-tive investment is that royal china has become more popular than ever. The success has spread to the other classic sets, which are mixed and matched with the new.

Originality

Eva Paarmann and Oluf Lund from LOPFURNITURE presents a wide range of unusual designs. Function, comfort and quality are the main focus points.

LOPFURNITURE is fantasy and innovation, but they are quite “old-school” when it comes to prioritizing craftmanship, quality and service to the highest degree.

All their designs are produced in Denmark - at Oluf ‘s old sawmill, Naarup Savværk on Funen.

The Smart Desk in walnut can become twice as big and the Piano Chair can be adjusted to just the right height.

LOPFURNITURE is part of the permanent collection at DESIGN WERCK in Copenhagen.

To artisan Synnøve Vedel, the point of departure was the loom and the textile universe, and she elicited great enthusiasm for her textile sculptures in the 1970s. Simultaneously, she created a series of poetic lamps, where the sense of her fabric expression can be rediscovered. Regardless of material, her work was characterised by a compositional strictness and an organic design. Today, daughter Kjerstin Vedel has put the lamps named Vedelform, into production. Anour Desk lamp is the latest addition to the A series. It features a tilting lamp shade, integrated touch dimmer. Available in brushed, polished & browned brass. Lamp shells can be made to custom sizes on request.

Both companies are represented at the DESIGN WERCK showroom in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Light Makers and Folding Ladies

Good craftsmanship and in-house production are two major cornerstones of LE KLINT. Their world renowned quality lighting is the result of techniques and tradition that has been handed down from generation to generation, which are still being carried out today by a broad team of highly skilled workers. LE KLINT is synonymous with lampshades. Their handfolded iconic shades take years of learning specific techniques, completing a qualifying process and mastering many different pleating forms, before one is inducted, as part of the skilled team of folding ladies. This, however, is only a fraction of LE KLINT’s product range procedure and the craftsmanship that lies behind each lamp. Specialist metal workers and wood workers play a big part in the magic, which has been going hand in hand with the folding process, since the beginning.

Poul Henningsen designed the three-shade system back in 1925-1926. The first lights using the system were designed by PH in cooperation with Louis Poulsen for an exhibition in Paris. This partnership continued up until his death in 1967. Throughout his life, PH sought to create glare-free light, direct light where it was most needed, and create soft shadows, using incandescent bulbs as a light source. PH 4½-3½ Glass Floor is a member of the three-shade family which numbers 18 lights today, including three for outdoor use. Thus PH did not just design a light, but an entire system – around a thousand different models have been produced over the years. PH 4½-3½ Glass Floor in its current form was introduced in 1990.

Design Werck Copenhagen

DESIGN WERCK is a Copenhagen based meeting point and showroom for selected contemporary Danish design.

DESIGN WERCK - Living Showroom Copenhagen has chosen the interior design for the Danish Pavilion on Ipanema.

Republic of Fritz Hansen are known for especially The Egg™, the Swan™ and the Series 7™. These iconic chairs were designed by Arne Jacobsen for Fritz Hansen and all date more than 50 years back, yet still they represent Danish design history more than any other pieces.

Since 1872 Fritz Hansen has lived up to its ambition of crafting timeless design. This ambition has taken numerous shapes. From Arne Jacobsen’s architectural and organic furniture like the Egg™ or the Drop™ for the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel to Poul Kjærholm’s impeccable way with steel illustrated in the PK22™ lounge chair or PK80™ daybed.

Butterfly is a combined hook and shelve coming from a young Danish design company called Makers With Agendas. In order to save space and reduce environmental footprint it comes in a flat package. Makers With Agendas develop and produce design products that reflect the world we are living in. How can design support this modern way of living? Makers With Agendas gives the answer through their products: f.i. a place saving and foldable bucks Accordion, a mobile book shelve and art holder Stilt or their dining table which can be unfolded and become a full size table tennis set, inviting for social gathering among friends and family. Owner and founder Julien De Smedt is the architect of the VM houses and ‘The Mountain’ in Copenhagen and the entrepreneur William Ravn is the man behind Vita Copenhagen, Denmark’s second fastest growing company in 2015.

A SEAFARING NATION

The hulls are made of glass – first shaped by hand and mouth and then ground by means of an ancient Italian technique called “Battuto”. These extraordinary patterns are reminiscent of how the Viking ship planks used to be crafted. The process requires masterful glasswork and implies that two hulls can never be the same.The hulls of the viking ships are created by glass artists Nanna Backhaus Brown and Andrew Jason Brown in their magnificent workshop in Hundested. The challenging “Battuto” technique is Andrew’s specialty.

Egeværk has made the wood for the ships. The wood’s warm glow plays in harmony with the transparent clarity of the glass, like the water itself. Oak is as a basic material in maritime crafts because of its strong and dense properties.

Egeværk and Backhaus & Brown are now on their way to an exciting adventure and by combining their traditional crafts and creative cooperation they are developing new projects and designs. The intention is clear, they will demonstrate their combined work all over the world.

For Your Eyes Only

Johannes Foersom and Peter Hiort-Lorenzen is a Danish design duo who have collaborated since 1977 and won a number of Danish and inter-national awards for their original furniture design. They have designed the Eyes Lounge Chair for Erik Joergensen Furniture, a highly respected Danish manufacturer in Svendborg, Funen.

A Zen Moment

Award winning artist Helle Hove insists on tranquility and sensuality. She has developed ‘sand doodles’ for her popular sand drawing workshops.

Now, the interest for her artistic stones has grown, and soon she will put them into production so that people can enjoy the relaxing and fun activity of ’sand doodling’ in their own spheres.

For the stone in The Danish Pavilion, Helle Hove has sent a bag of sand from one of Denmark’s many beaches - Denmark meets Brazil.

Sustainable Design

After living in the US and Spain, the sisters Bine and Mie Lind decided, together with their farther, Preben Lind, to create a unique Danish design brand based on their entrepreneurship, experience and creativity.

Bine’s studies in international marketing, Mie’s background from the retail industry and Preben’s more than 30 years of experience as an entrepreneur with marketing, design and retail stores ended up with LIND DNA. Sustainability and the use of natural resources like recycled leather are at the root of the LIND DNA design and business strategy.

Dining With The Danes

In 1951, Kay Bojesen won the Grand Prix at the World Exhibition in Milan for his cutlery and that is how the cutlery got its name. Many look to it as the embodiment of Danish design and craftsmanship. Now after more than 60 years, it has reappeared in the original shape and range that Kay Bojesen intended from the very beginning.

As a grandchild of Kay Bojesen, Sus Bojesen Rosenqvist has been eating with Grand Prix ever since she could grab a spoon, and she knows every nook and cranny of the cutlery. “It’s all about eating,” says Sus. “Things you put in your mouth should be tender to touch and not look like something you could hurt yourself with. Kay Bojesen was pig-headed with details like the little hump between the shaft and the blade, which supports your forefinger when you cut.”

Ro is the Danish word for serenity, calmness and peace of mind

Rebecca Uth, the creative director of the Danish design company Ro, and a designer herself, collaborates with the other designers, who contribute to the collection. Ro creates objects of art, craft and design in a professional and sensual manner. All of Ro’s objects are born as a constructive dialogue between the curator and designer, and the collection includes both commercial design products and unique art objects.

The award-winning Emma collection from Stelton beautifies everyday life with its attractive designs for the tea and coffee table. Strong, simple lines and remains focused on the form and function of the design.

With its innovative combination of steel, wood and stoneware it is a new design classic for the tea and coffee table. Available in blue and grey tone-on-tone colours. Design: Holmbäck-Nordentoft.

Multifunctional Furniture

by KlipKlap produces furniture to be used for all generations. Folding madrasses, exclusive pillows, a classical daybed or other interior products in a high quality.

The company was established in 2011 by Pia Lauritzen having a need for a large madras for her new born son. One he could grow with. One that could improve his mobility skills. Having searched for a long time she still had not found it. So she invented it herself.

Today, the KK 3 fold as the madras is called, is a popular piece of furniture for young family, using it as a playing ground, sofa, daybed, coziness, or even a guest bed.

In the Danish Pavilion we show Pia Lauritzen’s newest piece of furniture - a daybed in oak with a pillow with textile from Hanne Vedel.

by KlipKlap is part of the permanent collection at DESIGN WERCK.

Tradition and renewal are united at Spindegaarden in the South of Jutland. The company is run by Hanne Vedel who has created textiles for famous furniture designers such as Finn Juhl and Hans J. Wegner. The company up-holds a long tradition of uniting classic craftsmanship with visionary design and a curiosity of exploring the unknown. Nature’s own materials constitute the very foundation for Hanne Vedel, who - though having passed the age of 83 - works at her own weaving mill every day.

The Dijon table linen from Beirholm is a mod-ern rustic design with a minimalist all-over pattern that can be readily incorporated into classic, traditional and modern interiors alike. The design is directionally neutral, which makes setting the table quick and efficient.Beirholm use BCI (Better Cotton Initia-tive) cotton in their BeirTex® yarns, so the product you get is far more sustainable and ethically produced.

Cotton cultivation is the most polluting form of farming on this planet. BCI cotton gives you the assurance of cultivation under better conditions and with long-term economic, en-vironmental and social benefits, both for the people whose living conditions are depend-ent on cotton farming and for the environ-ment in which the cotton is cultivated.

In 1866 C.F. Geismar established Geismar’s Weaving Mill close to the centre of Copenhagen. Since then the company has supplied high quality down comforters, bed linen & night apparel in a classic design. Along with the fine throws of 100 % first cut lambswool Geismar’s offers down comforters made of the finest downs and the bed linen feels incredibly soft against the skin and light around the body. The bed linen is made of the finest Egyptian cotton, which has the longest and strongest fibres. The high quality of the bedding means that it becomes softer and softer with every wash. Each day Geismar’s ship products to many different countries around the world. Good quality and a classic design never has a time limit and time has proven them right. In October 2016 Geismar’s will celebrate it’s 150 Anniversary.

The Girls From Aarhus

The Antilope table series in oak and brass was created by Line and Marie Frier and manufactured by MoreWood in Risskov, Aarhus, using the finest materials and specialized craftsmanship.The tables come in a sofa table and a side table. They are the first two products under the Frier Architecture furniture brand frier&frier Aarhus. Expect more!

Design Nation

Danish architect Søren Ulrik Petersen has developed the Lambda trestle table for Design Nation, situated on the island of Møn in Denmark.

Two table trestles and a table top – those are the ingredients in the world’s most simple table design.

LAMBDA trestle table is a very accomplished example of this generic classic whose pared-back design makes it a stand-out statement. And at close range you sense the tactile wood grain of the stained black ash wood trestles.

Reflecting the finest of Danish design and woodcrafting tradition, the sturdy trestles are designed with a minimum use of wood.

Choose between table tops of solid wood or a laminated SAME / SAME table top, which can be reversed to allow either a white or black surface.

Heavily inspired by the diversity of nature and the world’s cultural multiplicity, textile designer Pernille Holm has created a highly personal design universe, where she transfers her sensory perceptions onto textiles. She is determined, yet experimental in her work to integrate the organic and create a soft and tactile connection between the exterior and interior. The result is textiles with a three-dimensional expression, arisen in the interplay between materals, textures and colors. She develops exclusive textiles for home and office, the fashion industry as well as the to The New York Ballet and The Royal Danish Theatre. Inspired by her many travels Paris, New York and Rio de Janeiro, Pernille Holm transforms her impressions into beautiful textiles.

Artistic Craftmanship

Askman Furniture is Danish artistic craftmanship at its very best.Created through an inspiring collaboration between contemporary Danish designers and Ask-man’s almost 100 years of experience, each piece of furniture is a testament to centuries of tradition. Askman produces a variety of designer products: tables, chairs, trays, bowls, flatware, and other items for the dining table.

Go Your Own Way

Blinkenbike is a patented “build-a-bike” concept. The first ever bicycle patent was called a “kick-bike” and was designed by Karl von Drais in 1818. About 80 years later, the design- concept was reborn as a training bike for kids, called a “pre-bike” or a “balance bike”. With a balance bike children can learn how to ride a bicycle much earlier than before, and can usually completely skip training wheels and enter a safer ride on a traditional bicycle.

The Blinkenbike concept is an add-on this positive trend. With the basis in cognitive learning, it is designed not only to learn kids how to ride a bike, but also how to develop their motor skills and encourage their natural curiosity and creativity. The bike contains a small tool compartments shaped like the well-known “Shape-Sorter-Toy”, and some special developed knobs to fit in. The knobs also serves as assembly knobs used to attach additional accessories or designs and figures which the kids and their parents can cut out of the cardboard box that the Blinkenbike is delivered in.The accessories for purchase will by launch enable the kid to build the Blinkenbike into a small motorcycle with kickstand, mudguards, tank and headlight. Upcoming designs includes a little basket, a doll-seat, pony equipment and much more, and the kids and their parents can also download a drawing of the bicycle-frame and together draw and attach new designs of their liking - only imagination sets the limits.

The Blinkenbike concept is inspired by well-known Danish design traditions of furniture and toys. It is thus made solely of the finest walnut- and beech wood, and strong varnished or painted birch plywood.

Be inspired by Danish Design as it is reflected in the Danish Pavilion on Ipanema beach during the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro 2016.
