I recently returned from my latest Scandinavian shopping trip and wanted to share some photos with you.
As many of you know, I travel to Scandinavia several times a year looking for up-and-coming designers, and to secure the latest items for Huset customers.

His work has often been described as more Scandinavian than British in spirit, so its no surprise to hear that he has answered a call to curate and stage an exhibition on Danish design in Copenhagen’s Design Museum in Denmark. Danish Design – I like it! is an external and international look at Danish design and the exhibition marks the change of name from the Danish Museum of Art & Design to Design museum Denmark.
