A Visit to HAY Copenhagen
I just returned to the office from a trip to Copenhagen spent reporting a handful of stories for the magazine and scouting future projects. A highlight of the trip was my visit to HAY, a fantastic store dedicated to contemporary Danish design that's set in a historic building overlooking Strøget, the city's main pedestrian thoroughfare. I spent more than an hour in the store in a kind of happy design daze, gawping over the lovely sofas, chairs, rugs, tables, and miscellaneous gifts and gadgets. Here are some photos from my visit. I'll share some of my other favorite Copenhagen discoveries online over the next couple weeks.

RE: HAY Not up to Dwell standards... looks like a bunch of trendy junk. Cute to have a display of chairs on a wall, but really, would you buy one without SITTING in it??
Love the white chairs...could not find prices on their very creative website. Are these carried by anyone in the US?
If you visit Copenhagen you should also see the lovely butchers shop / steak restaurant Gourmandiet. www.gourmandiet.dk Nice interior and nice food! And 2 mins. from HAY you find Royal Café. Also very nice interior and lunch... www.theroyalcafe.dk
Wow! I'd like to visit this place.
