The Art of Living
Audo Copenhagen brings Menu, By Lassen, and the Lassen brothers' archive under one roof. Six pieces, four designers, eighty years of Danish design.
The newest piece in Louis Poulsen's portable lighting collection. Inside the PH 1/1 Portable: Poul Henningsen's century-old three-shade design language, two finishes, and the cordless format that frames it.
In 1948, Poul Cadovius put furniture on the wall and invented the modular shelving system. 78 years later, three systems still define the category: dk3 Royal System, String Furniture, and Muuto Stacked. A guide to how each one works and where each belongs.
Verner Panton drew the Panthella in 1971 wanting a metal shade. The manufacturing of the day failed him, so the lamp went into production in white opal acrylic. Fifty-five years on, Louis Poulsen builds it at five scales, from Floor to 160 Portable.
The work Alvar Aalto started at the Paimio Sanatorium in 1931 became the foundation of a design language that ran through six decades of his career. A closer look at four Artek pieces that carry it forward: the Paimio Armchair, Stool 60, Tea Trolley 900, and Armchair 406.
Three rechargeable table lamps worth considering for Canadian homes: the Louis Poulsen Panthella 160, Audo Copenhagen Torso, and Louis Poulsen PH 2/1. What each does well, where each falls short, and which to buy.
A 1949 Swedish shelving system that still fits every room it enters, in the same grid it launched with. Inside String Furniture, the Strinnings who invented it, and the kit that becomes your wall.
A seven-year-old Danish brand with a design voice already fully formed. Inside Form & Refine, Herman Studio, and the five signature pieces that define the catalogue.
A century of Danish design told through six chairs. Inside Fredericia Furniture, the Graversen family who rebuilt it, and the designers from Mogensen to Manz who carry the story from 1911 to today.
Three pendants, three different ways of moving light through a room. Inside the PH 5, Muuto Strand, and Audo Hashira, and where each one belongs.
Most Scandinavian design brands trade on heritage. Muuto starts with the word for change. A closer look at five signature pieces reinterpreting Nordic design for the way we live now.
