This is a special report from our super world-traveling friend Susan Serra, CKD from Bornholm Kitchen and author of thekitchendesigner.org . Copenhagen Design Week , a collection of design events, talks, and exhibitions all over Copenhagen,was held September 1-6th, with the theme “Think Human.” Think Human is an expression of today, yet an old Danish design philosophy that has its roots in human-friendly solutions to product development. Code 11 , an exhibition of (primarily) innovative Scandinavian interior design products states its priorities as: “design of high quality, peculiar ideas and crooked thoughts.” In this case, crooked = AMAZING!

These Stitch and Wooly chairs by Susanne Westphal are her final graduate project from the University of Art and Design Burg Gibiechenstein. She asked the question “Why do we have less time then ever before, although we invented time saving things?” The unfinished chairs are a reminder that we need to take time with things so each chair gets completed by the user. Using wool, one can stitch and upholster the chairs, and the more time that is spent on them, the more comfortable and attractive they are. By taking your time constructing the chairs, they teach you to slow down, relax, and unwind. Photos by Sascha Linke.
