Focus on Danish Interior Design Trends 2017

Exhibits from the Danish Design exhibition Formland
Brimming with new inspiration and lots of interior design ideas I have just returned from the largest exhibition of Danish and Scandinavian interior design and handicrafts in Denmark.

At this exhibition a large portion of the large Danish brands and suppliers of interior design in Denmark show of their take on Danish design. They showcase the products that we the consumers will see in the shops in Denmark over the course of the next year. Like in earlier years there is besides the booths of the brands much inspiration to be found in the FOCUS section. Here some of Denmark's most renouned interior design architects show their ideas for the interior design, colours and materials etc. of the coming season.

 About Interior Trends in Danish Design 2016-2017
In Danish design the colours are more dominating now than they have been for a long time.

In Denmark we have become more open and play with more risky colours, textures and materials in our choice of furniture and wall decorations.

We talk about five different scenes of colour, texture and materials beautifully combined with light and interior.

Today in Denmark it is popular to choose a multitude of materials. Rustic surfaces that look like coloured cement for the walls, furniture painted with paint containing chalk and wall papers and flagstones put into patterns. Even the dark nuances no longer frighten us.

The pastel colours and shiny surfaces go hand in hand with the rustic craftsmanship in both ceramics and wool that meet the half transparent glass in beautiful nuances. As a supplement we see the handcarved wood upholstered with leather and velour.

Metals, stone and marble is still popular. Modern Danish design play with the physical expressions and put together a home, where the personality shine through. 
  
Below I will show you some themes/decorations, where wellknown Danish interior designers show the most popular colours, materials and shapes in Denmark today. Be inspired by the different themes and do not hold back in Danish design most is allowed!

 Theme: Artisan Dinning

 In beautiful interaction with the world, the craftsmanship and proud traditions meet. Patterns and styles unite to express the good story, sit down by the dining table and share the world.

 THEME: Artisan Dinning

 Theme: Red Dessert Lounge

 A wide palet of warm red shades reminds us of the light of the sunset. We are captured in a mix of soft curves and surfaces that slowly transforms into a dark blue night sky added a touch of exotic atmosphere.

 Theme: Red Dessert Lounge

 Theme: Off Beat Party

 In the coloured contrasts and the unusual Off Beat-combination of materials, a fiest of graphic patterns with a dynamic expression arise.

 Off Beat Party

Theme: Elemental Living

 The pastel shades and the shiny surfaces meet the elements of nature explicated in sweeping lines and curved shapes.

 Elemental Living

 Tema: Pop-up Morning

 In the crisp light of a newborn morning, a dynamic collage of morning atmosphere appears and catches the movement, reflects the light and begins the day.

 Pop-Up Morning
As said before do not be afraid to mix new and old, rustic and glossy materials, use more colours and yes you should bring out your brass candlesticks, when going for the hottest new Scandinavian design, It is all the rage these days.

Learn to spot the difference between 1st and 2nd quality

I am often asked about the difference between 1st and 2nd quality of Royal Copenhagen and Bing & Grondahl. This has prompted me to write a bit about it. Basically it is about an evaluation of the porcelain made in the factory after production. The finished porcelain was lookes over to see if they live up to the quality demands of the factory. Those that were deemed 2nd quality, where then sold at a lower price than 1st quality. Today only dinner service is sold as 2nd quality in factory sales, but the improved technique for burning the porcelain means that all the yearly cllector's items are sold as 1st quality now. In the past a large part of the production could be of a quality that did not meet the quality demand, which made it necessary to sell it as 2nd quality. However one must remember that the evaluation was made by people, so the evaluation of the porcelain could vary a lot, meaning that there was great difference in when figurines and plates were ju...

News for the nerds...!

It is no less than fantastic artwork! When you read this newsletter you will certainly have a different view of the  normal  plates. You must admit that it is impressive that the Danish porcelain factory Bing & Grondahl all the way back in 1895 was able to make such works of art..., especially when you know what you know, when you have read this newsletter!   Well, you are curious to know more about how Christmas plates are actually made, so now we will have a brief run through. We have a more detailed description on our homepage about  how you make Christmas plates .  The process to make a Christmas plate is rather long. It all begins with the artist, who draw the motif after the measurements of the Christmas plate. Then the modeller engraves the motif into a plaster form like shown in the picture above. This plaster form is the base form for the production of work forms that are used to imprint the motif into the newly formed Christmas pl...
