Danish Design




In this particular Scandinavian country, I couldn't help but notice that much emphasis was given on the comfort of sitting down. The amount of chair, sofa, and stool designs which are ergonomically thought of, makes a design in the early 1920s looks sophisticated enough for today's living. Yeap, my trip to the Danish Design Centre thought me this. I saw the evolution and revolution of Danish design which I think is quite understated due to their humbleness. Danes don't actually shout out, design from Denmark like how the Americans brand their goods. Which I think is very intelligent of them. The advance of their designs is simply cutting-edge.

Another awakening was the FlowMarket Exhibit. Here is one message I got as my take-out, "Be Best Not IN, But FOR The World" The exhibit aims to educate us on the environmental state that we're in right now. Let's do our part in conservation and the 3 Rs (Recycle, reduce and reuse) for a better world. Oh yeah, another meaningful quote, "Every dollar spent is a vote cast for the world we want it to be", so spend wisely and support responsible brands!
