Kongens Nytorv (King's New Square) in Copenhagen is currently being transformed into a metro station and urban space, as its hoardings have come down and tree planting efforts have begun. When completed next year, this new addition to Copenhagen should prove welcomed with open arms.
Nyhavn
Nyhavn is one of Copenhagen's oldest and most picturesque districts. Lined with elegant houses and adorned with flowers and flower arrangements, this area also hosts one of the oldest wooden ships ever constructed - making it perfect for strolling and picnicking alike!
Finn Juhl was renowned for adding visual lightness to his designs, such as the Nyhavn Desk with its almost invisible legs made from burnished steel and wooden toes that seamlessly integrate into its table top surface. This elegant and durable foundation piece will stand the test of time.
Alfred Homann and Ole V. Kjaer's Nyhavn Wall Lamp was designed as a more discreet version of typical outdoor lighting at its time, featuring a cone-shaped shade containing three anti-glare rings to direct soft light upwards. Louis Poulsen awarded it their Heritage Urban Area Lighting Design Prize in 1976 due to its innovative form.
Christiansborg Palace
Starting around 1660, Danish monarchs engaged in absolute monarchy. During this time they commissioned numerous sculptures to decorate palaces, city streets and towns - both as self-glorification and practical purposes - such as Frederick V's magnificent equestrian statue in Amalienborg Palace Square. Some still stand today.
Hansen Kock took inspiration for the interior designs in Frederik VIII's Palace on the piano nobile from Christiansborg's ceiling paintings, which show bolder use of colour than what had been employed by CF Hansen. Thus it seems natural that Hansen Kock wanted his designs to follow this path as well.
Visitors to Christiansborg can gain more insight into its complex architecture by engaging with our interactive model located in the Garden Room at Christian VIII's Palace. It explains how Amalienborg came together as a royal residence, and has screens showing more details on each individual building.
Tivoli Gardens
Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen is one of its most visited attractions, known for its masterful design and longstanding popularity since 1843. Among other things, this beloved garden features colourful wooden buildings, amusement rides and restaurants that attract millions each year.
Diller Scofidio and Partners has become widely-renowned architects known for designing museums, libraries, parks and public spaces globally such as the Boston ICA; New York's High Line as a park; Lincoln Center renovation; as well as projects for Museum of Modern Art New York expansion/renovation as well as Walker Art Center Minneapolis/Walker Art Center Tokyo projects.
Pablo Records ensured that the late 1970s were an exceptional time for mainstream jazz, and this concert by violinist Stephane Grappelli with Oscar Peterson, Joe Pass and Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen remains an exquisite example. Their incredible chemistry remains intact today nearly four decades later and their performance still dazzles audiences around the world.
