Danish design casts a long shadow over contemporary culture, influencing everything from furniture to fashion with its emphasis on clean lines and natural materials. There’s no better place to grasp its timeless appeal than Denmark’s capital, with its first-class design museum, architecture centre and many furniture and design stores. Copenhagen has a rich architectural portfolio, especially around its revitalised harbourfront, and also demonstrates the virtues of people-first urban design, from clean harbour baths to its network of bicycle lanes, awardwinning bridges and vibrant public spaces. Despite its 20th-century roots, Danish design feels as modern as ever.
