JEWELLERY SHOPSCopenhagen is an excellent place to buy jewellery – both the classic brands and individual jewellery in the designers’ small shops. by lars højholt

m INTERNATIONAL HISTORY IN SILVER Georg Jensen is,  if anyone, the man behind the international interest for Scandinavian design. The 

silver is of a particularly high quality and the craftsmanship is even better in this Danish success story, 

which supplies style and luxury to the whole world.

m FESTIVE AND COLOURFUL Marlene Juhl Jørgensen transforms the impression of the past  into distinctive yet simple jewellery 

at Figaros Bryllup, where candlelight and 

mahogany form the settings around this 

intimate  shop  and  workshop.  Pink,  red 

and green gold are used in the materials.

m RAW PERSONALITY IN ADDITION TO THE CLASSIC MATERIALS Besides  the  classic  materials,  Marianne 

Dulong adds rare stones with the appro-

priate  amount  of  edge  to  enhance  the 

personality of those who wear the jewel-

lery. They are raw, classic and glamorous 

and are also available for men.

m THEATRICAL WITH NEW MATERIALS Zarah Voigt’s past in set design and costume 

design  is  not  denied  in  the  lively,  decadent 

and theatrical jewellery, which in an elegant 

way mixes materials  like perspex with silver. 

This is jewellery with humour and life.

When Copenhageners find expensive impulse purchases and the discarded de-signer dress in their cupboards, it is easy to make a vintage bargain. Go to the flea markets in the summer and to the large halls with mounds of second-hand branded clothing in the winter. The vintage shops are open throughout the year.

Time for a breakHolidaying in a metropolis also calls for taking a break to relax in a café and watch the world go by. Whether you prefer small, intimate cafés or high-ceilinged, stylish eateries, you will find just the right place for you in Co-penhagen. Take some well-deserved time out with a freshly brewed cup of coffee or enjoy lunch with a refreshing glass of beer.

next Week’s issue - the tastes oF copenhagen

Copenhagen has almost everything on the menu – from smørrebrød and salad to sushi and French fusion cuisine. The city’s many restaurants testify to the fact that Danish gastronomy is a serious contender on the international food scene. In fact, Danish restaurants boast more Michelin stars than cities such as Rome, Berlin and Madrid.

visit - 23-29 july 2010

From royal castles to ChristianiaArchitecture lovers will need plenty of camera capacity when visiting Copenhagen. Throughout the city you will encounter exciting architecture from all periods. There is everything from spanking new buildings such as the Opera House and the Black Diamond, classical castles and churches, to the more down-to-earth and quirky designs of Christiania and Nyhavn. No matter where your city wandering leads you, you’ll always find a park or a bench nearby where you can enjoy your lunch with views of outstanding architecture.
