A Visit to HAY Copenhagen
-
Here's a view of the main floor of the store, a spacious and airy atelier filled with all manner of wonderful things. -
The shop overlooks the city's main shopping street, with pretty paving and high-end shops tucked into grand historic buildings. This is the view from one of Hay's windows. It's a strenuously charming city even on the grayest day. -
Sections of the shop are arranged like rooms in an apartment; wouldn't you like to move right into this tableau? -
This room is dedicated to smaller items, from leather iPad cases to ceramicware to colorful fabric-covered storage boxes. -

I bought my friend a set of these bright and graphic dishtowels, designed by the Dutch duo Scholten & Baijings. -
I love these simple but striking spiky metal candleholders by the French design company ENO. -
These wool "Pinocchio" rugs would cheer any room. Previously I'd only seen the multi-color version, but they're also available in an Orange and a Coral/Black combination as well. So sweet! -
Two easy plywood pieces from Danish furniture purveyor Hay—the Ru Chair, by Shane Schneck, left, and the Shanghay Chair, by KiBiSi, at right. -
I love this soft silicone Unfold Lamp by Muuto; sold flat, it pops up when you take it out of the box. -
The perfect gift for hipster parents, I mean kids: The Sneaker Coloring Book. -
The only problem with Hay: I had sofa tastes, but a paper-tape budget. (I did buy a roll of this hot pink paper tape!). -
The fun continues upstairs; here's a view of the second floor. -
A cluster of powder-coated steel DLM tables, by local designer Thomas Bentzen. Check out the handy handle for toting it around. -
Here's a close-up of the staircase leading from the shop entrance to the street—check out all the intricate architectural details.Don't miss a word of Dwell! Download our FREE app from iTunes, friend us on Facebook, or follow us on Twitter!

Maison & Objet: Part 3
Welcome to my third and final installment of highlights from Maison & Objet 2011. You can find the first two here and here.
iPad Sleeve by Portel Bags
Give the gift of protection and style. The company Portel is designing some intriguing iPad sleeves, bags, belts and wallets. I’m obsessed is their iPad sleeves made from thick natural felt. These handmade sleeves are designed not only to dress up your iPad while not in use, but to protect it from those minor accidental bumps and bangs. These sleeves fit both the iPad and iPad2 and come in a range of thoughtful colors. Personally I’m crushing on the Anthracite charcoal-like color.
