Another brand to watch from Copenhagen Fashion week is Copenhagen based Wood Wood...
Wood Wood presented their Spring/Summer 2013 collection entitled ’3rd Movement’ at Andersen’s Contemporary during Copenhagen Fashion Week. Photographer Hasse Nielsen captured the collection which was said to be inspired by San Francisco’s 1967 Summer of Love and the free love culture which continued to blossom into contemporary rave culture. The ’3rd Movement’ Collection was released through the brand’s online store on Monday January 28, 2013 and the following day in Wood Wood stores.
This week is Copenhagen Fashion Week and the city turns into a big marketplace full of inspiration, street and fairs, brings a good view on what wave hit us next... I will have a closer look on some of my favorite designers..Swedish Carin Wester.

Spring/Summer 2013collection dedicated to the independent, modern woman who stays in the city during the summer. Inspired by the characters of the 1980s movie›Working Girl‹, the strict »office suit« changes to a more casual outfit for a late evening on a terrace or a long weekend by the lake. The perfect man she is looking for distances himself from the classic suit, revealing contemporary elegance with a relaxed attitude...

ISKOS-BERLIN ON THE DESIGN “Under The Bell is not just a lampshade. When hung over a table or in an open environment it creates its own space within the bigger space. That way, the lamp embraces and shelters the table and people beneath it – both physically and in a more abstract sense. The recycled plastic felt even absorbs sound and helps improve the acoustics of your room.” MATERIAL PET polymer felt and rubber cordCOLOURS black, grey DIMENSIONS height 46 cm, Ø 82 cm MAX WATTAGE 30W

HARRI KOSKINEN ON THE DESIGN "The basic idea was to create a lamp series with space and atmosphere and put trust in the natural material of glass, in its beauty and its changing reflections.

The lamps are at their best in the late evening, creating a cosy mood around them." MATERIAL mouth blown glass, textile cord COLOUR transparent grey DIMENSIONS ø 24 cm, Height 32 cm MAX WATTAGE 60W
I refuse to choose a favorite here but above models are fun, colorful and fresh in my mind!
I was lucky enough to enjoy a beautiful lunch in Aarhus @ Kahler Spisesalon...organic ingredients bought from local farmers...a taste of heaven...yummi! And what a charming place...everything is served in Kahler pottery ofcause..I LOVE!
Kähler dates back to 1839, where the adventure begins, and which continues today all over the world. The starting point was Herman J. Kähler, a Holstein potter, who opened a small pottery workshop in Næstved/Denmark. This was further developed by his son, Herman A. Kähler, since in 1875 by weighting the aesthetic aspect high.
The ambition has always been to bring art to the people and 100 years ago was the artistic expression shaped by big names like Thorvald and Svend Hammershøj. Kähler continues its tradition of collaboration with the great artists, designers and ceramic artists such as Louise Campbell, Cecilie Manz, Jeanette List Amstrup and Jelena Schou Nordentoft.
Today will follow ceramics traditions and interpreting them in a contemporary perspective. In this way, pull the thread through the history of art back to Kähler startup. The fact that we work with people with such different backgrounds means that our art ceramics have very different expressions because they each with their own background, their own approach to the design of an object - the starting point may be the pure form, function and material options.
